At the moment I’m reading “David Copperfield” for my final exams in English. The last German book I read was “Die Verwandlung” by Kafka and I will start to read “Die Physiker” and “Das Versprechen” both by Dürrenmatt for school.
I loved David Copperfield! didn’t want it to end…
“Moby ****” sounds good - I haven’t read this for years and might give it another run.
PS - I’m being filtered! It’s the book about a whale - a big FISH not…
Perhaps we’ll call him “Moby Richard”
I use an asterisk for a single letter to work around filters. D*ck. Let’s see if shittake mushrooms will be filtered…
[edit: Nope! 
]
Ho Ho - I can get around it by typing “MobyDick”. 
Anyhow, I found the story online at Blackmask and it’s even better than I remembered.

Yes, I like it, too.
well, I just now finished Wuthering Heights.
My first thought upon finishing was, “what a strange little book”.
Really, I quite enjoyed it. But it had the same effect on me as had The Brothers Karamazov–I am left feeling influenced so much by the warped thought patterns of the characters that I feel as though my own mind has been warped (of course, Karamazov had this effect to a much greater degree…).
I didn’t much care for the style of jumping back and forth between storey-tellers. It might have been better without the extra person… but maybe she was going for originality there.
The last book that I’d finished was The Elements of Typographic Style by Robert Bringhurst, which I’d recommend to anyone with an interest in typography. I suspect that tax form instructions will be next on my list…
I listen to audio classic books, but i read lots too
im reading oooo 5, 6 books at the moment
Ita aliqua ex causa haudquaquam videtur.
You guys are your always reading these classics reads…right now im reading “Reap the Wind” by Iris Johanson…It’s a Psychological Thriller and really enjoy that genre…there was i book i read awhile ago called “The Tower” it was a Psych Thriller as well and its one of my favorite books i ever read…however, i dont rember the author and im trying to find the book again and there are TOO MANY books called the tower…anyways its a book about an excaped lunitic from Alcatraz (Spelling?) and i was wondering/hoping one of you have read it and could tell me the authors name?
I do a lot of tax work - my part time job which supports my Latin and music interests - and I have come to the conclusion that the people who write tax form instructions don’t have any known Earth language as their first language. An interesting subject for a linguistics expert…
Carola: I admire your fortitude in choosing that line of work! The people who write tax form instructions are at least bilingual, as they’re doing their best to translate from the original Bureaucratonian…
