I've never read the book. I thought of putting it on my summer reading list and then I saw it on the library shelf. It's huge. <BR/>Also I wasn't loving Mrs. Dalloway but it's been growing on me. <BR/><BR/>Tiffany-I've never heard of your book so I'm going to have to look it up and read it, providing it's not huge. <BR/>And if it makes you feel better I was named after Ashley Abbott on the Young and the Restless.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14830332078593192792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12793452.post-63150864920424982692007-08-09T01:07:00.000-04:002007-08-09T01:07:00.000-04:00i'm a people's history to the united states, by ho...i'm <I>a people's history to the united states</I>, by howard zinn. i've never read it, but i know about it, and i'm not surprised.<BR/><BR/>p.s. i was named after <I>breakfast at tiffany's</I>, but i've never read or seen it. probably because of the constant nagging voice of my mother in my ear, begging me to do either for the past 18 years. really, i'm just glad she didn't name me holly golightly. apparently it was a toss-up.tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04723337233939845595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12793452.post-66145001266137989972007-08-05T10:35:00.000-04:002007-08-05T10:35:00.000-04:00I'm Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. At least I know...I'm <I>Les Miserables</I> by Victor Hugo. At least I know the storyline (from the musical). When I was in elementary, I was determined to read the book (it's monstrous) and rechecked it out from the library like a million times. I never did read it but I could sing you every song from the show. <BR/><BR/>Also, I've read <I>Mrs. Dalloway</I> and I don't remember liking it. I think I might have been too young or too not into certain types of literary (maybe not as open-minded as I am now with all the experimental junk I've subjected myself to LOL) and I only recall the experience as being somehow torturous for me. But I remember a friend in college who read it and was like eating it up and loved it. Maybe I got some weird alternate copy of the book? LOL <BR/><BR/>Lastly, I keep getting emails from PETA about pleather and I am considering writing a large open-letter exhorting the values of naugahyde.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12793452.post-72252600189862770102007-08-04T20:35:00.000-04:002007-08-04T20:35:00.000-04:00Thanks!

I just hope I can keep up. <BR/><BR/>I am going to call the museum but every time I remember to do it it's like 2:00 am. <BR/><BR/>And who knows maybe I won't care for Watership Down but I thought I should give it a try.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14830332078593192792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12793452.post-43917910485717764842007-08-04T10:48:00.000-04:002007-08-04T10:48:00.000-04:00Congratulations on the new blog!That's terrible ab...Congratulations on the new blog!<BR/><BR/>That's terrible about the tickets. But it says a lot that you valued your sister's well-being over $90 worth of tickets. Give the museum a call, maybe some honest soul found them and turned them in. Probably not, but it's worth a shot.<BR/><BR/>The rude rejection slips sound very unproffesional. I hope you're saving them. You can include the rejection slips in the 10th-anniversary edition of <I>The Turkey Thief and Other Stories</I>.<BR/><BR/>Great, I'm <I>Ulysses</I>. I've never been able to make it more than a few pages into that book before I decided there was something else I'd rather be doing.<BR/><BR/>Word verification word: frquqcuq. That's a lot of q's.D.B.
