Today, for the first time in almost a decade, I went to the library. :D
I borrowed a book called Summer of the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America's Continuing Debate Over Science and Religion. I need it for a paper I'm writing. :thumbs_up

Just borrowed Amsterdam by Ian McEwan
To the is-land by Janet Frame
The Turning by Tim Winton
Ben, in the World by Doris Lessing
I must have 50 or 60 books sitting on the floor in uneven and unbalanced stacks that I intend to read "soon"... to speak nothing of the endless unread books staring back at me from my own personal library shelves. Of what use would I have for a taking out more books from the library?! Masochism?
The Scarlet Letter
I picked up:
Hermann Broch - The Sleepwalkers
Alfred Doblin - Berlin, Alexanderplatz
Jose Saramago - All the Names
"Belinda" by Maria Edgeworth. Also "What Jane Austen Ate and Charles Dickens Knew" (a guide to 19th century literature and 19th century life in general- fascinating reading for those with an interest in history)
The Catcher in the rye =)
My bookshelves are filled with unread books! But I can't help it. I still have to go the library as well!Quote:

Two critical studies of Paradise Lost.
Chekhov Collected Works. I needed the book for the 'Chekhov Short Story' thread - any Chekhov fans out there? We have very active discussions in progress monthly. If inclined do come and join in. We would love to have more enthusiasts.
Reality in Fiction
Walden
I was Broch's? I've read The Death of Virgil, and I think it was bad (have you read The Death of Virgil too?), but The Sleepwalkers seems something very different.Quote:
