Posted: 7/19/2005 9:04:58 PM | | aahhh, I've got 5 going now, from the time I get to work during break time, to before going to seep; at least 30 minutes each or more for one than others, depends on any "good parts"; all are sort of inter-related and non-fiction. I devour books,,,no other life, so give me Art, Music and books...:) | |

Neuromancer is a great book! Nice to see I'm not the only one who's read it! Most people have never even HEARD of it lol  | |

Posted: 7/24/2005 5:14:22 PM | I can hear my conscience saying focus, focus!!!, but alas it is so much more fun to feast at a banquet! I am reading Dan Brown's Angel's and Demons. This past weekend broke to read the new Harry Potter and the HalfBlood Prince. Have also been dipping into Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago(heavy emotionally, which is why I'm taking it in small doses - but still fascinating), and too... Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead( a reread from thirty five years ago) and for passions sake, The Diatoms by F.E. Round, Crawford, and Mann. For my art soul I drew from my shelves the work of Jack Bush....sigh. I wanna be him when I grow up!
Who's counting calories...lol. | |

Posted: 7/26/2005 6:36:54 PM | Oh! what's the Diatoms like Gaelyn? I remember seeing some amazing photos of diatoms in a National Geographic article.
For my fun reading (in some attempt to balance out my research reading) I've just finished "When Broken Glass Floats" by C. Him which is about the life of a family in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge. For a bit lighter reads I'm part way through "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" which is oddly reminiscent of some of my dreams -- and "1421: the Year China Discovered the World" (a rather interesting take on China nautical history before it entered one of it's isolationist phases).
Oh, I picked up "American Gods" by Neil Gahman at the bus station to pass time; bit of ancient deities meet the modern era.
(Sadly, I'm stuck in "The Truth about the Truth" for about the last 3 months, can't seem to make any headway... ) | |

Posted: 7/26/2005 7:04:25 PM | The Diatoms by Round et al, is amazing. There is enough biological data to satisfy the amateur scientist and a saturation of genera illustations to satisfy the curious artist. Caution... it broke the bank!
To accompany the study, I picked up Smol and Stoermer's book also called the Diatoms: Applications for the Environmental and Earth Sciences. And for desert I found on Ebay a copy of 'A handy book to the Collection and Preparation of Freshwater and Marine Algae, Diatoms, Desmids, Fungi, Lichens and Mosses. 1867.
And what do you do for heavy reading.*grin... | |

Posted: 7/26/2005 7:28:59 PM | Well for the heavier side of reading revolves around a theme; the Ontario government seems to want to call it ‘source water protection’ and the like. Me… now I’ve always preferred ‘excrement, where it should and shouldn’t go and how to keep it where you want it.’ Somehow, I think my chances of being in the ministry’s communications branch border on nil.
Hmm… I think I’ll put Diatoms on my list though, thanks. | |

Posted: 7/28/2005 7:18:05 PM | John Irving's "Until I Find You"...which I'm actually finding his most disturbing book to date.
I'm take frequent breaks from that one to re-read "As You Like It" which is more amusing than I remember. It must be my advancing age! | |

Posted: 7/30/2005 8:27:59 AM | | First time posting, would like to know the title of that one. My son was kidnapped and has returned home for 3 years now. He still has issues, and I will not drug my child, but would like to have more knowledge on how to help him cope. Thanks. Bon. | |

Posted: 7/30/2005 8:54:09 AM | | I tried to send you an email on this Bon, but I'm blocked. Hope you get through this... wouldn't recommend Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince unless you are going to read it with him. Very dark! | |

Posted: 7/31/2005 5:15:39 PM | | I am reading GK Chesterton's book on Chaucer entitled 'Chaucer' and have just finished reading quite possibly the greatest book of all time ever, Mikhail Bulgakov's 'The Master and Margerita" as dazzling a 'hymn to the imagination' as anybody has ever dared commit to paper. Banned in Soviet times until 1973 for being errr... too good - states a pretty good case for repression being healthy for art (but sickening for genuine artists) - in liberal democracies we manage to produce Dan Brown and Harry Potter - literatures equivalent of rock and roll wet dream doyens such as bananarama and Bryan Adams. yuk. can't quite see the point of this thread now having contributed to it. is anybody supposed to respond? next stop - bill Hicks' LOve al the People' dear america, you may well have your funny endearing little ways, but i would like to personally thank you for giving Bill Hicks to the world. cheers! | |

Posted: 7/31/2005 10:31:41 PM | Some of us need more balance in our live Maartijno. There are days I read heavy, days I read light, and days when in good goldilocks form, the reading is juuuuuust right...lol
Today I pulled from my shelf a book that continues to take my breath away. The Hand of the Poet: Poems and Papers in Manuscript by Rodney Phillips.
I delved into the poems and lives of Robert Lowell and Elizabeth Bishop...ecstacy!!! | |
