The Looking Glass Wars - Frank Beddor
The last book I bought was "Schindler's List" by Thomas Keneally.
And before that I got a book of Robert Frost poetry. I love buying books.. Its really a terrible habit
"What makes people so impatient is what I can't figure; all the guy had to do was wait."- Cheif, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey
I have more editions of Beckett's works than I could remember including the first editions of Molloy, Malone Dies and The Unnameable. I have various audio and video productions of Godot and a nice little bronze statue of Samuel Beckett's which sits on my bookshelf. I can't resist such things, a lot of time and money spent on Beckett. I have been grappling with his works for 18 years now (that's almost half of my life).
"The farther he goes the more good it does me. I don’t want philosophies, tracts, dogmas, creeds, ways out, truths, answers, nothing from the bargain basement. He is the most courageous, remorseless writer going and the more he grinds my nose in the sh1t the more I am grateful to him..."
-- Harold Pinter on Samuel Beckett
The Edge of Evolution by Michael J. Behe
Last book was and illustrated version of The Divine Comedy. Haven't been able to get to it because of my university studies but I can't wait.
I can think of no more appropriate word...
Just picked up The New Kings of Nonfiction (edited and w/an introduction by Ira Glass) and Ian Fleming's Doctor No.
Ahhh! I have just discovered my library's "Book Cellar" - yes I have never bought used books from my library before. I ended up getting six books for three dollars! I bought:
Gone with the Wind
The House of Mirth
Brave New World
Snow Falling on Cedars
The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Wicked (this one is for my sister)
And I was just on one wall!!! There were so many more I could have checked out! I bought these on top of borrowing some from the library.
"So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss, and my heart turns violently inside of my chest, I don't have time to maintain these regrets, when I think about, the way....He loves us..."

Behe was expertly taken apart by Dawkins see 'The God Delusion' pages 129-131 and page 133.

As black Dakota hills. ~ Riesa
