I told you that when the stupid book defeated me the first time. I was arrogant enough to think i could do it anyway.<br /><br />Mom of Three- I think stupid War and Peace is the only thing on my bookshelf I haven't finished. I haven't heard of that book, what is it about?<br /><br />Shadow- There are some books I can't forgive. The only one I can think of right now is A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. No excuses. I can more forgive if I don't like a book but can see why someone other than me would. <br /><br />Brooke- That makes me feel better. I thought about reading Finnegan's Wake only because I wanted to conquer it but I won't. I love how I have burned Time To Chill into your brain.

I tried to read and understand Finnegan's Wake and failed miserably. I think the only way I could get through that book is with the help of Smoler. Oh, and I'm so with you about Tolstoy and his uppity snobs. Dostoevsky all the way.<br /><br />Your shuffle is funny. <br />5. Insane in the Brain, Cyprus Hill<br />6.

I am going to do it, though, because the language in the former was both simple and sumptuous at the same time. <br /><br />But I won't even attempt Tolstoy or similar feats because, well, I always seem to have a ton more appealing titles right there in my bookshelf!Undercover Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665520353750292526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31809533.post-47884405889062018092006-12-11T21:47:00.000-06:002006-12-11T21:47:00.000-06:00OK, since Monica declined to actually name any of ...OK, since Monica declined to actually name any of these so-called "easy" shuffle tunes, I'll take a couple of them out:<br /><br />#2. Heard It Through The Grapevine, either Marvin Gaye or Gladys Knight and the Pips, take your pick...<br /><br />#3. Street Fightin' Man, the Rolling Stones<br /><br />Didn't you once tell me that the only way to read Ulysses is in a lit class??? If I can wade through post-structuralist post-modernist anti-neo-colonialist post-feminism in a class, you could certainly master Ulysses in a class. (And I bet your 9th grade notes on the Odyssey are still upstairs in the closet...) And I don't see anything so giggly about "ese" either...
