Rubbish? you betcha, De. More unfounded republican paranoia.

Nope, not yet Maurine—but will look for it soon as I finish the current book on the execrable Custer I’m now reading.

You bet your ass he would, Phyllis ;-)

Hayden Carruth died recently Phyllis, superb poet.

What book that you know you should read – but haven't gotten around to yet – haunts you from your bedside table?

Nope —I fall asleep too easily lol

Candice Bergen: The Kindly Ones Creeps Up

The Kindly Ones is not for everyone. But it is extraordinary albeit brutally honest in its depiction of a monster. Nevertheless it’s enlightening for our times considering the rise of the extremists in our midst.

Joan Ganz Cooney Hasn't Read Middlemarch

Middlemarch is extraordinary—Eliot wrote one of the singularly phenomenal books in English lit. Try it—you’ll really become immersed immediately.

As for Nana, I am and have been unable to read Zola—I find him and incredibly boring writer. I know—I know—Philistine but there are some authors one is congenitally set against and Zola is one. Try Claude Berri’s film Germinal instead.

Try the new book by John Pipkin: Woods Burner, which tells the story of Thoreau’s accidental burning of 300 acres of Concord’s woods and damn near burning down the town itself. That should prepare you nicely for Walden. :-)

Iran Election Update: Clerics to Discuss Ahmadinejad Victory, Mousavi Calls for Protestors to Wear Black in Peace, Mourning

Exactly De—meddling in Iranian politics at present would be counter-productive—diplomacy is the way to go.

What book that you know you should read – but haven't gotten around to yet – haunts you from your bedside table?

The Wings of the Dove—Henry James—for some reason it keeps putting me to sleep and I never finish—I love James’ books but this one keep defeating me. Soon, I promise myself—SOON!
