<p align="justify">I couldn't quite get into [i]Hamlet[/i] or [i]King Lear[/i], which I read in my junior or senior years. [i]Macbeth[/i] and [i]Julius Caesar[/i], which I read in my sophomore year, are what got me into the arts and humanities in a big way. There is so much bravado in those plays, it's crazy. They're sly and devilish in that they're told from the villain's perspective.

"But for mine own part, it was Greek to me"[:D]



"Out out brief candle..."

Damn. THAT soliloquy is GOLD!

I also dig classic poetry: Marlowe ("who ever loved that did not love at first sight?"), Shakespeare, Dickinson, Frost (who was also kinda keen on [i]Macbeth[/i]), Whitman, and maaaaybe Pound and Eliot.

I just read "Worthwhile musings of Georgie". Cover to cover. Both words. They were "good" and "bye". Well, it would have been one word, but the two words were separated by a comma. And there was no space after the comma.

Concrete, Bulletproof, Invisible and Fried: My Life As A Revolting Cock - by Chris Connelly

Highly entertaining book. Chris recalls his experiences in Ministry and RevCo, from 1987 - 1993. It's a total geek bible for fans of Wax Trax Records and 80's-era Ministry. It's a virtual behind-the-scenes diary, covering all of the touring, rampant drug use, studio sessions, band relationships, fights, break-ups, etc., and paints a disturbing picture of a drugged-out, tyrannical Al Jourgensen. Highly recommended.

Favourite reads for me, it's gotta be Richard Condon's classic "The Manchurian Candidate"--NO CONTEST and the 1962 ORIGINAL Sinatra flick as well as Ursula K. Le Guin's "Lathe Of Heaven." with both the theatrical and A&E films being most excellent as well.

On a lighter note, William Golman's "Princess Bride" (need I explain why). Even though the movie is the de facto ultimate film, the book's a great read too!

I haven't "bought" into anything. I was just really hoping Bosten would take the opportunity he created for himself to dig himself into a really deep hole. Then I was going to offer him my shovel. [}:)]

A friend loaned me "PostSecret." Amazing, incredible concept.
Lots of websites dedicated to it - I liked this one:

I am almost finished with Steinbeck's [i]The Grapes of Wrath[/i] and I LOVE THIS BOOK ! Holy moley, what a story. What characters. The social injustice stuff gets to me just like it does in Upton Sinclair's [i]The Jungle[/i], at which I cry every time I read that one. [i]Angela's Ashes[/i] does that to me, too. No wonder this is a classic.

I visit this website every Sunday morning. I eat breakfast and read the new postcards.

I enjoyed PostSecret also.

I just finished "Fog Heart" by Thomas Tessier not too long ago, which is a phenomenal ghost story. I'm now in the middle of "The Imago Sequence" by Laird Barron, which I'm enjoying quite a bit.
