    The Painted Bird by Jerzy Kosinski
    Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami
    The Charterhouse of Parma by Stendhal
    Spring Torrents by Turgenev...this is my second attempt at buying this one, the first one got 'lost in the mail'.
    A Life Under Russian Serfdom: The Memoirs of Savva Dmitrievich Purlevskii, 1800 by Boris B. Gorshkov and Savva Dmitrievich Purlevskii
    And for a little fun, I got Scandinavian Humor and Other Myths by John Louis Anderson. It's all about growing up Scandinavian and lutheran in the northern plains, it focuses mostly on Minnesota but the Dakotas get a mention or two, and it's hilariously funny...although probably only to those that have shared that experience.

    feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
    porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
    but weighty and unmovable
    As black Dakota hills.

    "Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe" was the last book that I remember buying but I haven't bought any new books in a long time. I just borrow my sister's or check some out from the library.
    "Love is long-suffering and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, does not get puffed up, does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep account of the injury. It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

    Bought Infinite Jest today (only ten bucks!) even though I'm still reading the copy from the library.

    Tis a dry day for discussion. 'All of the Days and Nights', William Maxwell.
    "Saw this friend the other day, I was like "HEY WHERE'S THAT FAX MACHINE YOU PROMISED ME, YOU SAID TUESDAY NOW IT'S FRIDAY, he was like "STOP PUNCHING MY SINCLAIR C5 AND I'LL TELL YOU" and then we wrestled for about 20 minutes".

    A History of the End of the World by Jonathan Kirsch. It's about the book of Revelation and how it has been used throughout the centuries. Quite interesting.
