BTW, do you like living in the past (which doesn't matter) like Yankee fans?

My guess is you do.

Steelers are the team right now.

They are, we shall see if next January a different picture is painted.

I actually got to sleep last night! Finished Catch-22 too...

Nice. Heller's brilliant work will stay with you for the rest of your life. Mike Nichols directed a pretty good film based on the book with Richard Benjamin and Alan Arkin. It's a product of the era (1970s), but worth checking out.

Yep...some of the dialogs in that book were fairly brilliant. Although it got a bit repetitive, it was great. I'll try and check out the movie some time but I'm still behind on Jet Mo's movie suggestions from last year...lol. I'll start reading a bunch of Dostoevsky's shorter works today, hopefully The Double can be finished today.

Is Danny Glover's movie of the same name a remake?

I don't know if you are familiar with his work, but if you want some really funny/clever Summer reading, check out the Jeeves and Wooster series by P.G. Wodehouse. I read these back in the 70s and 80s and was crestfallen when there were none left to read. Anyone I ever turned on to these books just loved them, especially all the classic English characters.Just make sure you read them in order. Wodehouse has other material, but these were his masterworks IMO.

I'm a bit behind in my reading, so I'll have to put that on the backburner. I want to finish off the rest of Dostoevsky's works, then head over to Gogol, then find a copy of On the Road (none in library--shame), then some Nietzsche...etc. I also want to check out some Sagas of Icelanders--I read Njal's Saga two years ago for school and that thing was awesome. I picked it up at a Barnes And Noble and just sat in the store for a few hours until I finished it--never bought it. :)

I can't quote anyone and then post after it.

The mouse won't let me click the box when quoting.

Strange.

The only way I can post is to use the quick reply.

Every time I try to reply in the standard way, it won't let me click in the reply box, and any time I hit return it sends me to some sportsbook site.
