"The Known W...Hi James,<BR/>good to hear from you again. "The Known World" is a terrific read. I've not read "The Island." I'm also spending far too much on protein shakes. I tried to cut down costs today by ordering on-line from a wholesale place, but, after adding the shipping costs, the savings are minimal. Water from Singaporean taps is also perfectly potable, if you like the taste of chlorine.Jee Leonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01979179110231643931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19954746.post-55025672563523543682007-07-24T18:23:00.000-04:002007-07-24T18:23:00.000-04:00Oh.

Keep going to the shops after training to buy chocolate or some other fast energy thing (and water - why doing so I don't know: it's basically worse than tap water / water from the tap, which is lovely here in Norway).Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110796788757248168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19954746.post-63374790127930317262007-07-24T18:17:00.000-04:002007-07-24T18:17:00.000-04:00These are wonderful, especially Garcia's and Faulk...These are wonderful, especially Garcia's and Faulkner's. <BR/><BR/>Next time, don't forget Pulitzer prise winner "The Known World" - you will know why -, nor "The Island" (all over the bookshelves". I wish I could give you a Norwegian must-book (highly lyrical), but it is not yet translated. <BR/><BR/>Just returned from a month-long holiday. Been good for me, and my poetry and reading. :)Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110796788757248168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19954746.post-55184625062402218942007-07-22T21:08:00.000-04:002007-07-22T21:08:00.000-04:00I've struck a blow at "Giovanni's Room" and, after...I've struck a blow at "Giovanni's Room" and, after that brief campaign, will turn my forces to "Cholera."Jee Leonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01979179110231643931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19954746.post-59937709261815502552007-07-21T21:43:00.000-04:002007-07-21T21:43:00.000-04:00"Love in the Time of Cholera" is utterly beautiful..."Love in the Time of Cholera" is utterly beautiful.
