Actually it is kind of cool revisiting all the stuff I used to like and had forgotten about. There has to be some compensation for losing your metabolic advantage and turning grey.  :eyebrows:

there is - you get to entice innocent creatures into your den of wild sex by offering to show them your silver pubes.

well, it worked for me.   :eyelash:

anyone read "genome", by matt ridley?  sorry if this sounds pretentious, but someone who knows about scientific writing (even though it's only a popular science book).  i want to hear someone else's opinion before i start sighing on here.  :laugh:

Finished reading The Godfather. Who taught Mario Puzo grammar? I noticed quite a large number of grammar mistakes from that novel.
I found three spelling mistakes in The Amber Spyglass by Phillip Pullman. I am not so good with grammar but I have noticed the misuse of a word in the book I am reading now; Deep Space Nine: The Left Hand of Destiny. It is about Klingons.

The brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky.

I like Dostoevsky. His characters remind me of lines in a painting, constantly colliding with each other and altering each other's courses and flying into the painting from all directions. Only thing that sucks is that he usually uses the patronymic when referring to each one so that you basically have to read each name twice to know who it is.

recently read "overtaken" by alexis sayle - had to finish it at one go, it was so good.  the first few pages were a bit odd, but i persevered, and am i glad i did, or what?  extremely well-written; great characters, plot, etc,; and even a touch of his surreal humour here and there.  it's not in his comedic style, btw, so don't expect ranting.  just fab.

Salas and Hille's Calculus was my calculus book as well.

I think that it's a pretty good one.
