That sounds good X, I started to read again.. Overnighting in San Pedro last month, we killed some time in some old thrift stores near the harbor.. Picked up B.F. Skinner's "Walden Two" which I had never read and Kazantzakis' "Zorba the Greek" also which i had never read. Seen the movie a couple times and loved it but the book seems so much better, with so much more "life".. And that's what Zorba is all about.. <g>.. Went to the dinner early evening, last, forget the printout of your post with the movies.. So I couldn't remember, but will get it next time.. Did pick up "Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN" which sounds great and a thriller-type called "Time Out".. My friend sent me a pocket book of Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" and "The Secret Sharer" .. Read the former years ago, never the latter.. So I have a lot of easy reading material. :). And he mentioned again the movie, Akira Kurosawa's "Dreams", where a person walks into Van Gogh's paintings.. Sounds great but they didn't have it at our local Hollywood.. Actually they don't have much of that type there.. Have to try the library.. Our library system has a good selection of artsy movies, if you are willing to wait.. Anyway weather is bootyful..So lot's to do, lot's to see, lot's to read.. :) m
