currently reading americana by don delillo
ooh im fond of essays myself.
im reading--well trying to read--the masterpiece by emile zola but it is so damn boring and the characters so silly and the way they talk ("now you two will kiss and be friends!") makes me think that emile zola was probably a bit of a gimp, so i dont think im getting much out of it.
the secret history, by donna tartt. so far it's good, i dont particularly enjoy reading though, but i've been forcing myself to read all the books ive accumulated over the years that i havent read. it's been insanely boring.
on countthree's suggestion i bought vanity fair, so ill be starting that next. i bought it used, and had to shake it first to make sure there were no bedbugs or other surprises in it. *shudder* used books gross me out so much.

yes, i think that's probably true about classic books. ive read the phantom of the opera over and over. you wouldnt really call it a classic but man, i love that book.I hope you enjoy your reading. I had too many surprises with used books, from strange objects to missing pages. Now I use a Kindle for ebooks and a tablet for PDFs. Problem solved. I know it's not romantic, but it's clean
I'm reading A Doll's House. It's the third time I read it, and every time from a different lifetime perspective. Some texts evolve with you. Maybe that's why they are called classics.

a dolls house...that's interesting, it's a play right?
