The Corrections is amazing! I guess it's especially easy to relate to because each family member has their own problems that, though the cause is the same, are so diverse that everyone can find at least something they've experienced themselves. You can borrow my copy when I give back Ask the Dust (which I finished)

I hope you're feeling better! I have reader's block right now so though I keep picking up books and starting them, I haven't finished one in weeks. :-( I think I'll add this to my ever-growing TBR list. I would love to see a performance of this if it ever hits L.A. or Long Beach.

a note from my sister about this from the Facebook page:

i saw this performed in san francisco and it was in.cred.i.ble. absolutely inspiring. when i saw it, benjamin bratt, josh brolin, diane lane and others were performers. however, it was kerry washington that blew me away completely. if this performance is still happening, i recommend anyone and everyone check it out. or read the

@vasilly I tend to write my interview notes on receipts or napkins if I've left my mini notebook in another purse.

@King Vergel - "Single Dinner" had a 'plate' and 'utensils' on that white section. Kinda zen-like though

Yeah I would read that. But honestly though, who reads on the loo? Not I. I am in, I do my thing, then I am out.

Is that a Zen circle on "Single Dinner?"

Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium?
Help, please. All recommend this program to effectively advertise on the Internet, this is the best program!

I bought the Sony Reader for the same reason. I would always bring a ton of books with my on holidays. I love my Sony reader and I use it a lot. However, I do buy books as well. I can't stop buying them, I love the shopping experience.

@penny pop thanks for stopping by! Interesting, I've been considering moving to Los Feliz (or silverlake/echo park) to get out of hollywood. Soon enough. One major consideration is my proximity to larchmont but the trek may be worth it

Hello. Fellow Little-Prince lover here. Just stumbled across your blog and wanted to say I think it's great. Especially since it provides proof that yes, people in the land of "fun and sun" do pick up the occasional book. :)

Also, I made the move from Hollywood to Los Feliz just a few short months ago, and - with the exception of missing the proximity I had previously to

bahaha. I kept checking back to see, if you had updated. Great blog and see you at 'Bricks&Scones' in October. :)

CORRECTION: {Death Be Not Proud} is by John Gunther, which alludes to the sonnet of the same title by Donne.

Hi Bill! Aside from Millenium park I went to the Aquarium and the area/parks around it. We also took a ferry tour, visited the Art Institute and the new Modern Art wing. We also went to Oz park as well as hung out in Wicker Park alot. I love the city and want to go back.

2009-08-20T21:27:45.054-07:00

I was catching up on some old posts of yours. You spent some time in Chicago...what else did you see besides Millenium Park?

As for the Mayan calendar...another thing that people can misinterpret and work themselves into a frenzy of fear.

so happy that you hate it :)

Yes. "Interpreter of Maladies" is great. I still find myself thinking about some of the stories. Really struck a chord with me.

Lynn - glad you and Abe enjoyed the post! I'm loving your blog as well

Cindy - my sister read "Interpreter of Maladies" and loved it so I definitely want to read that one too. I'm also going to have to check out Shan Sa. Currently reading graphic novels and starting a sci-fi book for book club. You should join us!

2009-07-20T05:26:30.617-07:00

I love Jhumpa Lahiri. I am reading the stories from "Interpreter of Maladies". Another favorite author of late is Shan Sa, "Empress" and "The Girl Who Played Go". She writes in first person narrative and there is a feel much like Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
