    Interesting New Music

    Am loving this one right now. The Garden State soundtrack has some interesting things, and may turn me on to the Shins.

    Do you catalogue your books?

    Best Cristmas Song

    Ditto on the retail thing. "Santa Baby" induces serious stomach disorders now. I like "Silver Bells" and "Carol of the Bells" tho. And even tho I'm not religious, I like "Breath of Heaven (Mary's Song)"

    Tell a lie

    I've decided to celebrate Christmas by giving all my belongings to the Salvation Army. (I love those bell ringers so much!) Then for the new year, I'm going to move to Egypt and translate hieroglyphics, since I am fluent in that ancient tongue, and boy, everyone has been getting it all wrong...

    What are your fears?

    I am afraid of being in a situation where I am not able to breathe. This manifests as freaking out when someone touches my throat and being very uncomfortable in elevators and sometimes very crowded places. I don't know of any traumatic situations in my past that would have triggered this, but...

    A question for the writers amongst us...

    I haven't been writing much but poetry lately, though generally it's fiction. While I would like to publish something someday, I know that I'm not near ready for that, so I write for myself, because I don't have a choice. It would be like not breathing.

    Yann Martel: Life of Pi

    Just started this, and am surprised that no one mentioned how beautiful the language and imagery is. Am only a handful of chapters in, but so far am impressed.

    Alan Hollinghurst: The Line Of Beauty

    The only problem with your wonderful reviews is that you make everything seem so interesting, and I don't have time to read everything.

    You Might Be A Montanan If...

    The Houston version This is our version, with some removed as they were just too silly, and with explanations: You're on your way to work one February morning and suddenly you're trapped in a traffic jam caused by a chuck wagon and fifty horses -- with riders -- and you look around to see...

    gimme some warnings or words of encouragement

    It's a play, so it's a short read. It's a great book to discuss, lots of themes to work thru, etc. It's not the worst thing you'll ever be assigned. Skip the movie version, though, unless you really just love Winona Ryder.

    Classic literature

    The Sun Also Rises. A Farewell to Arms can be a little irritating, but still worthwhile. And the collected short stories are good.

    Who likes Monty Python?

    I think that one's Terry Jones, actually.

    Americano Culture

    I do tend to assume everyone knows where Texas is, and no one's called me on it yet. I follow my hosts lead on shoes. At my good friends house and when I'm at home, mine are off, as I don't really like to wear them much. My Asian friends always take theirs off in the house. In my house...

    The Virgin Suicides

    I thought it was a well done movie, but too sad to want to see again.

    One more before you die.

    Look here One of many single volume Shakespeares available on Amazon. ;)

    One more before you die.

    The Collected Works of William Shakespeare. That pretty much covers the whole world.
