I think I would like to read this book.
I don't think I want to buy it
but I have read a few pages on Google Books and it is wierdly funny
God I love Google Books it is amazing. I wonder how much longer it will be around. So many copyright issues. So many law suits.

Have really liked using the google books, too.
Thanks Jack.
I'll check that one out.

Just finished up some Richard Brautigan books Trout Fishing in America and a collection of his poetry I bought from Amazon. Not good on the pocket like google.

Hey Jack, stayed up past midnight to see your bookmarks, hadn't closed the window yet cause I was trying to see it all in too small of time.
Thank you, u

I appreciate it and it might of been just the thing I needed too cause my mood had been moody blues up until then, ya know and you got me to smile.

A couple of em I bookmarked too, looks good to me. A lot of things besides politics :P to catch my attention.

My Bookmarks

sorry I deleted the link to the bookmarks, I am glad you saved it before I deleted them. I was going to edit the bookmarks because one of them made me uncomfortable.
The one about the Israel Firsters.Douglas Feith, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, disgust me.


I checked out that website that the link was on and I thought it was hateful. I did not like the bit about the "holocaust industry". Yes I like that Tom Lerher song national brotherhood week.
"and everyone hates the Jews"

Calms me too, it's like going to a place and soothed cause it feels familiar, something from the inside.

Another lost dream

lost in Washington dc Wisconsin avenue come onto a Vietnamese store looking for directions, the store sells strange plants one of them looks like a succulent cactus, The Vietnamese guy is short and he I tells me it is a plant with a lot of seeds and it is used by shamans I tell him I was lost could not find my way back to Washington another Vietnamese guy comes in, this one tall and says you mean Bexar county which is Texas near to where I live, he acts confused as to where I am trying to go, I finally realize or think they are just fooling around with me pretending to not know where I am trying to get to so I say you guys are not going to tell me are you? and I walk back to my car, but now I can't even find where I parked it. I think must be on the next street over but it is not there. I walk around another corner another street always passing the same abandoned building with no doors
then I realize it is another one of my lost dreams.

So many dreams about being lost in a city, usually I don't even know what city. this time I knew I was in Washington Wisconsin avenue where it was two lanes, coming out of Georgetown, and I mentioned to the Vietnamese guys that I was on the two lane part of Wisconsin ave not the part that is four lane when it turns into Rockville pike.


So many lost dreams, wandering a city looking for something.

And is that where you are now? Out there on Wisconsin ave in D.C? If I had a car, like a small VW bug or even a station wagon with the dog in the back, I could go find the ave and we'd go have coffee, then we'd find your door at Bexar County. It's getting late, a bit chilly out too and coffee sounds good.

If you had a car like Myrna's
You could rescue Ignatius

If I had a hammer...
I'd hammer out love...

If I had a boat
I'd sail around the world

Some day I might have a car
and who'll stop me then...
prolly nobody
and I'll go where I've a wanting
to explore
all over and up and down
I'll even try to use road maps,
I'll stop by side roads, overlooks
and by-passes
looking at weeping willows,

Was trying to find your bookmarks again,
I needed this week-end and already napped.

I'm always trying to watch.
I finished all my books, or all of them I'd planned to read. I have a few college writing course books, and that type I could go through or I could read more Ulysses, but I wanted to see more what ...

Seems like I never finish a book anymore, I am always juggling five or six at a time. Some for as long as thirty years I been reeading. Every once in a while a new book will make it into the rotation.

I have decided to read Final Harvest, collected poems By Emily Dickinson cover to cover instead of just picking my way through it.


New bookmarks Sorry they are not organized just a mishmash.

Books I am checking out recently
