Just finished Waiting For Godot by Samuel Beckett, and now re-reading A Place On Earth by Wendell Berry.
(Also constantly reading Electronic Music Sytems, Techniques and Controls!)
And you......? |

| Just read Chronicles of Tao by Deng Ming-Dao again (maybe my 20th time). Started on A Fire in the Deep, Vernor Vinge. Always reading some technical book(s) too, but they kinda go with the territory. |

I feel as if I gave up on reading a while ago, but just got back into it with 'voyage au bout de la nuit' by Celine, which was great, now I'm reading 'bubbles in the foam' by F.W.Bain which is also great...
Reading is great!

yep - love the master and margarita! (clearly) i read it for the first time only a few years ago, but my parents had it on their bookshelf since i was a kid - always remember that cover.
i would like to read more of bulgakov's stuff, but haven't gotten around to it yet. |

Currently reading Post Captain by Patrick O'Brian. There are some twenty books in the Aubrey-Maturin sea-faring series and this is book two.
It took me three months to get through Book One: Master and Commander.
These books are the greatest works of fiction I have ever read. Truly epic.
