I thought Agatha Christie made Belgium up?!

Wallachia is actually in Romania, duh.

Well…

I’d love to, know where I can find them?

A while back I listened to Siddhartha on Librevox. I love it and the reader was great too.

I can think. I can wait. I can fast.

I’ve read the Mars Trilogy and really enjoyed it. Although I stopped reading the third book when it KSR started writing old man wish fulfillment fantasy of old men sleeping with super young women.

The Emerald Mile sounds very interesting, added to my list.

Ah, I loved that movie but had forgotten the name.

It has been added to my list. Thank you!

Last time I tried to get into poetry I bought a copy of The Best Poems of the English Language compiled by Harold Bloom. I’ll try reading aloud from it to my partner. If she complains, I’ll tell her a lit teacher gave me an assignment.

Lol

I’ve enjoyed some poetry, especially during several college courses I took where I had to read it. My problem, and this is going to sound really stupid, is that there’s something about rhyming and broken line formatting of a lot of poetry that puts me on edge.

It’s like a subtle feeling of nails going across a chalkboard to read line after line of rhyming verse. Lines stopping suddenly followed by hanging indents feels like being in stop and go traffic. It’s something I try and get past every few years but without success. It feels like work and not reading for pleasure. My thought was it probably has something to do with ADHD.

Maybe I should give Leaves of Grass another go.

It’s sitting on my shelf waiting to be read. Just moved it to the top of my Bookwyrm reading queue.

I’ve really enjoyed recordings of his talks. Might not be what I’m looking for but thanks for reminding me about Watts. I need to revisit some of his stuff.

Yes, exactly. Nonfiction can sometimes scratch that itch for me, but it’s not exactly what I want either.

Works by Paulo Coelho is the only thing that come up when I search Coelho.

Ya not sure it’s what I need at the moment, but it looks very interesting and I’ve added it to my to read list.

Most plant varieties are copywrited, or somwthing similar. It’s not actually as crazy as it sounds but it’s definitely abused, just like all copyright law.

I know you did
