And here I thought it was Walter Mitty.......
As for me, I just happen to love the book Jane Eyre, but she thought she was plain, and she was right.
Buffalo..../shiver/...moving to Florida soon?

/chuckling/ No trick, my family is full of Walters.
Many thanks! The treat you offer sounds great! Especially for summer.
With winter coming on, though, the mere thought of Buffalo fills me with awe 'way down here in the Big Apple.I think you know what I mean.
Hope the lake effect is kind to you.
hello chasestalling
I've been diverted elsewhere with other things and that promses to continue for a while now. Sorry if my silence created sudden angst. Not your fault.i just read vn's eugene onegin. i know how he feels now, i.e. eugene onegin. gosh i had no idea that interfacing via the internet would be an emotional investment to warrant worrying oneself sick over. i have alas and if i have been the cause of such feelings, why then let this pathetic post be my penance for i am a coldhearted %*& @# !

i'll prolly have reread eugene onegin by then, so i'll look forward to a lively give and take if your cup of tea is what i think it is. until then, adieu.
Hi Chase,
The beat goes on. I am (still) hopelessly inundated with books and reading for multiple other forums (and real life). Somehow, this forum brings up the rear and only gets sporadic attention. It must be something akin to natural selection, I suppose, because I know a forum or two that I'll never revisit again. So all hope is not lost and I hope all goes well with you and yours nevertheless.
PS, The most recent books were:
The Half Brother by Lars Saabye Christensen, a magnificent novel.
The Lover by Marguerite Duras, an I-don't-know-what-to-call-it that challenges the reader with stream-of-consciousness.
Reading Like a Writer by Francine Prose, a nice overview of excerpted authors' writings.
Mimesis by Eric Auerbach, Chapter 1 only, so far, a deep critique of narrative.
The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan, the story of America's Dust Bowl survivors.
PPS, Next up is:
To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf, to follow up Mrs. Dalloway, another magnificent novel.
PPPS And way behind, on the back backburner along with dozens of others, is:
Bend Sinister by Vladimir Nabokov, partly read.
It has been a long time since any Nabokov.
That's it 'til next time.
Cheers
Oops, and the most recent addition is:
American Islam by Paul M. Barrett, to keep my eye on the world
