Hey Nick! Congrats for being chosen for the
Profile of the Month. Way to go!
Your Auntie

Reallly there is a film version of ben hur!

Thanks. You should be able to find Wordsworth on line. But don't throw the Keats out. he's great.

Oh I think I would start with Wordsworth. He started the Romantic movement. Read about him here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Wordsworth. And you should check through Lyrical Ballads, the book that started it all: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyrical_Ballads. There is an essay that goes along with Lyrical Ballads, I think it was the introduction, that is a statement of aesthetic objectives (for lack of a better term) that really identifies the objexctives iof the Romantic movement. A must read.

Check that, it's a Preface, not an Introduction.

So how is The Sleep Walkers? I wonder if it's in the same ridiculous style.

No. I don't know if I will. It really sucked. Did you ever pick it up?

Actually its propably a refferance to omnipatence or whatever being God knows everything all the time the guy gets freedom to choose and doesnt get punished till after he has made his choice but God already knows what the end result is so he could punish before the decision is made but doesn't. kind of.


Huh, Im not one for continuing if I don't like it I just give up usallay Lifes too short to waste on books I don't like and which give me headaches.
Next on the list is ben Hur, Woman in WHite one of teh Dumas novels, or Dorian Gray, I think.

Hey Nick you read the Bible and I am under the idea that you dont belive in it right?
So on a 1-10 how hard was it?

On the plus side read thewhole of Master and Margarita today, so thats one score for literary literature.

Thanks for volunteering .

I can't decide between As I Lay Dying and The Sound and the Fury as to which is Faulkner's best. They're both absolutely mindblowing. I need to pick up Beckett's trilogy... I love Waiting For Godot.

What are you reading now?
