My sister, a writer and English prof asks how I can do this saying, "So many books, so little time." Recently, I borrowed Ulyses from this same sister and set a goal to read it (for the first time). But this may be a goal that will not be attained. I think I'd like a tabbed version that marked the 'best' - most 'notable' - or 'unforgettable' parts.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12352803363425803168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19490962.post-62303523201012247502008-08-01T01:06:00.000+01:002008-08-01T01:06:00.000+01:00I read the book a couple of years ago (i.e. fairly...I read the book a couple of years ago (i.e. fairly recently). It's an exciting topic, but it definitely isn't written for the Harry Potter generation.<BR/><BR/>You've given it a good recapitulation of the events in the book. <BR/><BR/>I've never seen the movie. I'll have to see if I can rent it. <BR/><BR/>I keep promising myself that I will do a lot of what you are doing (reading books, watching movies, etc.) once I retire, but the way my CLL is proliferating, there may be no retirement. (I can't retire now as my wife would get nothing; I have to work until April 17, 2009 to meet the requirements.)<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I have most of the worst markers and my projected lifespan (average or median) was reached a couple years ago, so I'm on borrowed time now.<BR/><BR/>I hope I have SOME time to do the things you are able to do.Barry B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16562498733714000836noreply@blogger.com
