Thu 1/26/2006 9:33a | ^^you could always join "BOOKCROSSING" where you can trade or set free a book you no longer want. (there's also the thrift shops & libraries too).
I joined bookcrossing as I thought it'd be fun, but with all the folks leaving books in DLR I've never been able to find one.. (DLR is the WORST place to leave a book as the sweepers pick them up almost immediately and they are doomed to Lost & Found forever.. or until the next cast sale or something). Still there's bound to be a good bookcrossing zone near you.. maybe a starbucks or a Peets... |

Sat 1/28/2006 7:56a | "Up In the Old Hotel", a collection of mostly true stories by Joseph Mitchell, one of the great writers of our time. Mitchell died several years ago but worked primarily for the New Yorker from the 30's to when he passed in the early 90's, I believe. Legend has it that when he finished writing "Joe Gould's Secret" in 1964 he never wrote or pubished another thing, going into his office at the New Yorker and suffering probably the longest case of writer's block ever seen until his death. |

I just started Geisha, A Life by Mineko Iwasaki. It's her autobiography of her years as a geisha. So far, it's very interesting. I loved Memiors of a Geisha, though it was fiction, and it's wonderful to read a real account of what it's like to be a geisha. |
