Jack me Lad . There be no problem with holdin yer tongue . I,ll do me best to return the waggly bilge licker back to ye in one piece .
 
Nope. I'll take a look and see if it's floating around in my mom's books. I've started Dhalgren a few times, but never gotten very far into it. I'm just gonna give it a once-through and see if it becomes any clearer.
 
It's a LOT more approachable than "Dhalgren". Did the same thing with that one.
 
Good point. "Finnegan's Wake" == "Time Considered as a helix of semi-precious stones"? Dunno.
 
A very boring book on installing and configuring a RADIUS server on 2003 standard server.

Very boring.

I want an action adventure novel.
 
: Last of the Breed : Louis Lamour . I like his writing . Surprisingly this story is not a western . Story of military man with aboriginal anscestry captured by Russians . He ends up being pitted against Siberia in his bid for freedom .

Good from start to finish with more depth of character than some of his shorter stories .
 
I recently finished "The Places In Between" by Rory Stewart. It is a true story of a Scotsman (Rory) who walked across Afghanistan 6 months after 9/11. No political agenda, just an interesting observation of life and living on kindness and your wits. My friend Atta from Afghanistan is reading it now ~ when he is done I would be happy to mail it to anyone interested, with the caveat that you either send it back to me or another forumite when you are done with it.
