I might give it another try. I'm sure I have it in one of my old Norton anthologies left over from my teaching days.<BR/><BR/>Dr. M--no problem--I'm certainly not above thievery. I'm fascinated by anything to do with JFK's assassination, so I will definitely look for this book. Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Splotch--exactly. While the translation of Solzhenitzyn's Gulag Archipelago captured (I'm guessing) a lot of his sarcasm etc., I'd still like to read it in Russian.<BR/><BR/>Randal--Definitely, just a peaceful asshole-free zone where I can revel in language.dguzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01811101661607351661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18773945.post-22256168914010555352008-01-31T12:33:00.000-08:002008-01-31T12:33:00.000-08:00Oh, a giant library would be nice where I can hide...Oh, a giant library would be nice where I can hide from the wankery of the world and just read and write.

And I agree on Ulysses and Finnegan's Wake (I take with a grain of salt any claim from anyone that either of these is a favorite), but try Dubliners. They might be the best short stories ever written; "The Dead" certainly IS the best short story ever written.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14956997477396182396noreply@blogger.com
