The Demon Haunted World sounds interesting, what's that about?

Hey Irving, check your email.

I most definately shall... and nice evolution, by the way!

Why thank you. Do you recall the one who once evolved into a shoebox full of size nine chucka boots?

Is that good? I've heard of Tom Wolfe recently, but I've never read anything he's written... what's he like?

It probably said so on the box.

I'd like to know, has anyone ever read a book called Bright Hair About The Bone, or seen the movie Bright Hair, or at least read the John Donne poem, The Relic?

Not I. Has anyone else here heard of Sam Hamill?

Sam Hamill I don't know, alas. Should I?
Just finished re-reading John Grisham's THE STREET LAWYER. Pretty awful, really, but fine for relaxing with in a bath. Before that it was my dozenth or so reading of LORD OF THE RINGS. Next up I believe will be some of Harry Turtledove's alternative history books.
I'm well and thoroughly addicted to reading. Fortunately we have lots of books.
Oh, and thanks for opening the coffeehouse, Irving. We needed such a place for those of us who no longer drink anything stronger.

You are more than welcome, ffmike. Sam Hamill is a man I'm doing a paper on for my Engl 109h class -- he's somewhat interesting. He's a poet, and a translator of poetry. He also wrote a few essays. His life was rather... turbulent. From battered child to batterer to Buddhist.

Ooh. I happen to know a couple of Cormac McCarthy experts if you want Blood Meridian analyzed for you once you're done with it....

I keep meaning to read it and never get around to it. I'll have to take a stab at it next semester.

Irving Washington - Gone Writing Posted Nov 15, 1999
any specific "it", or just in general?
The Book Club
Lupa Mirabilis, Serious Inquisitor Posted Nov 15, 1999
The "it" of the post to which I was replying, namely A Brief History of Time.

sounds cool. I like interesting pots. Or Larkin, who is interesting by being completely boring, and coming up with fabulous verse all the same. Got a few chapters into Bonfire and stopped, its good, but not my sort of book. I may go back to it. Best book I read recently was Anthony Burgess's Earthly Powers. so there you go
