I pick myself up, dust myself off, start all over again

Well looks like I fell down on the job of blog up-keep. I will try again soon. Keep watching, and don't be surprised if you come back and everything has been edited. :) Hey if I can I will.

9-22-07 -Decided not to edit. I will let it be an archive of one attempt at blogging. I did edit the title. Keeping with the music theme I was tempted for one split second to use "Oops, I did it again" as a title, but I just could not do it. I refuse to be apart of that Pop Culture Junket train. :) But hey it is hard to avoid. So I choose an oldie but goodie.

What I'm reading now.

Thought I would let you know what I am reading, like you really care, :) No...
I just finished Thomas Mallon's newest novel, Fellow Travelers. The latter is set in DC in the 1950s McCarthy era. It is a very good read, a gay love story with fictional characters and historical characters intermingled. I am also reading Proust's "In Search of Lost Time" as a long term project. I am on Vol. 3, "The Guermantes Way" I can't say that I always "enjoy" Proust, it is difficult reading, but some sections are truly brilliant writing. Now of course I can hear you all saying Proust! What is he trying to prove? I am expanding my reading experience and perhaps proving that I can stick with it and read all 7 volumes of a masterpiece.

On my shortlist of want to read: Markus Zusak, Book Thief, Michael Chabon Yiddish Policeman's Union, and Brian Selznick, The Invention of Hugo Cabret. (9-22-07, read Hugo Cabret. Loved it, highly reccomend it.)
