Six Books Everyone's Gotten Wrong

Great article about the misinterpretation of six classics here.

I'm Still Around . . .

Although my entries are getting few and far between.

Anybody reading any good books lately? I'm reading a biography on Bernard Herrmann, a towering figure in the film composing world (A Heart at Fire's Center). And I'm reading my textbooks and finishing up Schindler's List. Next on my plate for reading for pleasure is . . . well, I was going to try to squeeze in EE's book chat book, but I don't think that's going to happen now. Think I'll try for the one in November.

Chicago Bookstore

Everyone knows about Powell's, but the weekend of Free Comic Book day, I visited a cool little bookstore called Quimby's. It's only an eeny meeny bookstore, and I don't like their website much, but the store itself is cool.

If anyone else has any cool bookstores they like—in any city, not just Chicago—send them along. I'm going to be adding a sidebar feature of links to bookstores on this blog.

Now, if you have any pics of attractive men with beards, like this one, please send them. My beard fetish is in full swing.

Bedtime Reading

Right now I'm reading V for Vendetta and the Bible. (Trying to find good biblical quote to introduce the Preacher.)

What book(s) is/are on your bedside your bedside table?
