    I just started in on Moby Dick ~ Herman Melville

    I read a bunch of shit in between when I posted this, some Tom Robbins and some other stuff. I usually get a few chapters in each night while reading out loud to the kid for beddie bye. I find I absorb more reading out loud.

    The Hungry Years, a Narrative History of the Great Depression, By T.H. Watkins. I knew things were bad, but not this bad. That such things could occur in the U.S. Every American should read this.

    Baudolino by Umberto Eco. I read the Name of the Rose years ago, and have a copy of Foucault's Pendulum floating around here somewhere. Very interesting author.

    I have not read Brave New World.

    1984 is very grave and depressing. The writing is very well, but it's hard to get over the content. It drones on, and is a slow moving book IMHO. I read it in high school, and I just kinda panic picked it for something to read to sooth the child for bedtime (she's 3ish.) There are may paralleisims to communist / socialist government.
