More fun with the almost-mater

Oct 25, 2007 15:43

Believe it or not, I've been known to do things other than run down to HP and deal with administrative hassles. I had a party this weekend! I played pub trivia. I have read three books in the last week. I'm just not blogging about it.

So... went to HP today.

This may be a foolish question, but have you read and would you recommend Invisible Cities?

I have read! I would recommend! I have a ViewMaster slide series based upon! (Google "Vladmaster" to find that.)

Without excessive exclamation--if you've not read any of his stuff, I might start with If on a winter's night a traveler, but that's just personal taste. (Not that I started with that, I started with Cosmicomics, but I don't know if you like quarks as narrators.)

That was my first Italo Calvino. I fell in love immediately.

Thanks, guys. I recently read a William H. Gass essay that talked about Invisible Cities, and I'm intrigued. My "To Read" list is about a mile long, but I'll be adding some Calvino.

Congrats! Damn now you're going to graduate before I will. Maybe this will be the kick in the pants I need to get my shit in order? We'll see...

While I must question your rationale of "Holy shit, even Ms. L's graduating? I gotta get on this", I am pro-graduation.

Well, I need all the help I can get in the motivation department. I am competitive to the point of silliness, so, this just might work.

Also, Schwa is closed? What the hell? Did you ever manage to eat there?

leahrosmerta November 6 2007, 18:06:33 UTC

Well, if you can bang out a thesis before Marc, you can apply to graduate with me!

I did go to Schwa. Twice! Sorry. I keep trying to get the deets out of a pastry chef who knows the people behind Schwa, but nothing yet.

I am sorry I missed your call. Evan and I were Halloween shopping up north, so I actually wasn't back in HP until around 9. when is you next trip? I make sure I am there.
