[Doreen Peri]

What are you planning on reading this summer?

What are you reading now?

right now I'm reading revolutionrabbit's book, and still writing too, but it's going slow. I'm in the middle of moving (yes, again), and all these tasks to do. in transition again. listened to democracy now with amy goodman when I hooked up the old stereo, and wow... seems like some mighty big crossroads coming up for humans. some hard habits to break. gotta go for now. no regular net access and all..

mnaz... Ahh... moving! That's always a busy time. Yeah, seems like you moved not too long ago. Hope you like your new place! Would love to read a review of rabbit's book after you read it. I haven't had the opportunity to get one yet.

I'm still reading this...

Einstein's God
I really LOVE this book. But I've been reading it for a while. I think I'm scared to finish it because then I'll be finished with it and I enjoy it too much to stop.

I'm also going to read these books this summer:

Let Them Eat Cake - by Leslie Miller
Leslie is a friend of mine. She really is a brilliant and humorous writer! I started it but need to devote more time to it.

The River Why?
Looking forward to this one.. It was highly recommended to me by a friend.

Also I'm trying to find a Haruki Murakami collection of short stories I started and never finished. It's around here somewhere. He's a big treat! Once I find it and finish that, I want to read one of his novels.
Here's the book I've misplaced.
The Elephant Vanishes

[SadLuckDame]

Still on the Ulysses journey, to page 547 and I'm in a good reading spot. The thing with this book is it has different spots that have different speeds, and at the moment it's 75 mph.

and also I did begin metamorphosis, but stopped after page 6, cause the rhyming was making me get tizzy, I'll return to it here and there, but looks like another project to tackle for the summer. Usually though, the slower reads become the most interesting, because then I spend more time looking at it, breaking it down and back tracking, so almost a study.

Another on the agenda is a norton study reader, it has some short pieces in it and then questions etc. follow. I did one so far, and that was a newish treat.

Basically all I've got planned, besides googling.

Share with us as you get through each, I'm interested in hearing if any catch your fancy.

doreen: interesting books´s titles! - in the last weeks of bardo I tried to cook pastafrola -a cake I love!- with total success!
some books I´m reading:

Sueños tupamaros, Xuan Gonzalez (on page 76)

Textos sin destino, Fernando Belottini (I almost finish it: a serie of very funny tales by a santafesino writer.., gracias to my friend Daniel that lent me the book!)

Awakening the heart, a John Welwood´s recopilation edited by Shambala (I read some years ago some essays from it, I´m reading the rest)

Fuente ovejuna -Lope de Vega- / El enemigo del pueblo -Henrik Ibsen- (because I´m helping a kid that has to give a Literature exam in High School at the end of July... not really in my conscious plans by it´s a way to hit books that maybe you would never choose to read so it´s somehow a good exercise!... )

mnaz: good luck with the moving!.. I´ll order some material by our locals -including your book!- as soon as my credit card is recovering from the summer!

SLD: I´ve only read dublineses...! yeah, enjoy your Joyce!!
