One down, sixty-three and a half million to go

Am hesitating between Eco's The Name of the Rose and Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. So many books, so little time...

On my immediate reading list (apart from those two):

Don Quixotte (I keep threatening to read this and never get around to it, a lot like I did with Moby Dick —I wonder if there's a parallel?) -Miguel Cervantes

The God of Small Things -Arundhati Roy

Trionfo della Morte -Gabriele d'Annunzio (must rummage and find my Italian dictionary if I want to have a snowball's chance in Hell of getting through that)

The Cairo Trilogy -Naguib Mahfouz (I hope I spelled that right)

À la recherche du temps perdu -Marcel Proust

The Pastures of Heaven -John Steinbeck

Hoping that reading will keep me this side of sane for a while. Off to bed now.

Umm, what?

I think all of you must be smoking crack. People have been leaving comments that I don't understand at all lately.

Why is no one sharing the crack with me, huh?
