I just finished that for class. Jesus saved me too, and just about everybody in my English class.
Back to the subject... I'm working on "Portrait of a Lady" by Henry James; his novels are a little slow going; you've got to be patient.

Among other things two interesting books: "If I die on the Jersey Front" and "Invasion". I have to read these with the lights on!

Just finished reading From a Buick 8 by Stephen King. Highly satisfying.

I've finally finished Karamazov Bros. and started on a book by Orhan Pamuk. Don't know the English title, but the original title is Benim adim kirmizi.
