Yep. Not critising, just found it interesting.

Now Eric's obsession with Dan Brown is a different story.

Always had a wide range in what i read. I really will read what ever i can get my hands on. Is quite beneficial here in China where choices can be quite a hodge podge.

I am a sponge and just love devouring books :D

Before that I read Gabriel Garcia Marquez' Nobel-prize opus, One Hundred Years of Solitude for the second time.

One of my students in a writing class once tried to pass off a short story by Gabriel Garcia Marquez as his own.  ahahahahah

I'm reading The Enchantress of Florence, by Salman Rushdie. It is fairly new book of his, out within the last year. I'm enjoying it so far, it is quite the page turner.

Bugalugs,

I agree that this is a good way to be ... Being like that too makes it just a little easier to decide just how many books I need to fit into my luggage ...  But I am still very happy to hear all of the suggestions on new books to look at and new sources of books I can use after I arrive.  Books are one thing I would find it hard to live without.

I feel obliged to point out that, should you consult your Shakespeare, Act III, Scene II of Hamlet, he says, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." So, the word "methinks" should be one word, not two and it is "doth", not "dost".... agagagagag agagagagag

Looks nothing like Eric - his eyes are much more beady, and his glasses more pink. Come to think of it, his eyes are much more pink too........on a good day.

Reading "In Xanadu", William Dalrymple, for the n'th time. Love it.

Ultra Nippon.

Best book I've read lately is Blink by Malcolm Gladwell.  In fact, possibly ever, in terms of what I've got out of it.

I'm reading The Enchantress of Florence, by Salman Rushdie.

Oooh, I gotta find that one. Rushdie remains my favorite novelist. I'm still not over Midnight's Children  and The Satanic Verses, and hopefully I never shall be.

...maybe it's something to do with the hat, bud??
...or maybe the 'hat' is the substitute for something stronger?
We can but wonder - hence, the obsession with your underwear.
