We stopped to get some coffee at a gas station and there it was for just 2$ - made my day! :)<br /><br />I was thinking of reading Mrs Dalloway first as it says at the back that there's a connection between the two books. Did you do so too?iva yanevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03147205944212242479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33547923613272710.post-86681617853101658612010-11-05T12:08:08.932-07:002010-11-05T12:08:08.932-07:00Zuckerberg is amazing. hehe. thank so much for the...Zuckerberg is amazing. hehe. thank so much for the link to his profile love. xo<br /><br />me..

I've never read the Hours, really need to one of these days...<br /><br />Literally just put down Giorgio Agamben's Remnants of Auschwitz, it's completely mind-blowing, I'll re-read it forever. And I'm halfway through Andy Martin's Waiting for Bardot, which is like a psychadelic philosophy tour through sex and french cinema, and also about growing up. So good.<br /><br />On the less fun side I have to read about 800 pages of Nietszche for monday. Ugh. I love him, usually, but not at that pace!leilani.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16652760618255792763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33547923613272710.post-51526033417176265512010-11-05T05:35:50.620-07:002010-11-05T05:35:50.620-07:00Haruki Murakami's

It's been a long time coming, and I can't say I don't like the way it's been changing. <br /><br />I just finished the Hunger Games series, because I have been working through current teen lit in anticipation of my daughter's maturing years. <br /><br />For myself, I am reading William Gibson's Zero History for the second time. I have been a Gibson fan since my early twenties, and some of his recent work, including Pattern Recognition and Zero History, play in especially to design professions and "cool hunting", both of which are pertinent to my current work cycle.Maiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149615417507090988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33547923613272710.post-20011556069673430222010-11-03T21:48:22.577-07:002010-11-03T21:48:22.577-07:00"I remember one morning getting up at dawn, t..."I remember one morning getting up at dawn, there was such a sense of possibility.
