I just logged on again and I forgot about the no politics rule. My sincerest apologies.

Don't you know you might find
A better place to play

Well if you're going to mention Sigur Ros you have to mention Jonsi, now that he has a solo career. I'm going to see him tomorrow night! I like beach house a helluva lot too, I'm not sick of them...

And I LOVE that song.

cassino "New Jerusalem." Everyone should listen to them. They're so good.

I'm not a fan of Virginia Woolf but I completely agree with Thomas Mann's Death in Venice. The homosexual motifs are explicit, if that's what you're looking for.

I recently started reading Barack Obama's Dreams from my Father and wanted to hear what other people had to say about it. Is The Audacity of Hope better? Please share and explain your ideas.

From What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami

I recently started reading Murakami's What I Talk About When I Talk About Running and I hate to say this but so far I'm disappointed. Murakami is one of my favorite authors and I love his work, but I...

I'd have to go with Blanche Dubois from "A Streetcar Named Desire," or are you excluding plays?

I just purchased The History of Love by Nicole Krauss on amazon. Has anyone read it? If you have, do you think it's a good read, why or why not?

I absolutely love this song!

Youth in Revolt, CD Payne. It was hilarious, and now I really want to go book shopping again.

Tale of Two Cities and Catch 22 sounds best.

I personally didn't like it, but I know that a lot of other people I know did. I guess it depends on whether or not you like Hawthorne's style. The novel itself seems to ask a lot of questions, but...
