Brad Posted June 29, 2020 Report Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) I’m waiting for my new copy of Berlin Alexanderplatz to arrive so in the meantime I’m reading Abigail by Magda Szabo. I love all her books that have appeared in English. I came across this article about Moby Dick tonight. Worth a read. Melville’s Whale Was a Warning We Failed to Heed Edited June 29, 2020 by Brad Quote

jazzbo Posted July 11, 2020 Report Posted July 11, 2020 Just started my Dad's latest book "Father Taylor: Boston's Sailor Preacher, as seen and heard by his Contemporaries." Fascinating book that my father worked on researching and compiling for years, and finally has printed via amazon publishing. Quote

Brad Posted July 20, 2020 Report Posted July 20, 2020 An article by Joan Didion about Hemingway (from the New Yorker archives, October 26, 1998). Last Words: Those Hemingway wrote, and those he didn’t. Quote

Reading Kundera's Life is Elsewhere. Also have an e-book version of Kevin Brockmeier's The Brief History of the Dead, which incidentally features a man-made virus that wipes out humanity. Good times... Not sure what will be after this. Maybe Joyce Cary's first trilogy or Don Quixote. Quote

If you’re interested, here’s the link, https://oyc.yale.edu/spanish-and-portuguese They have lots of other courses in a variety of disciplines. Quote

Way, way back when I took a course that centered on Rabelais and artists of his time. That was neat, though I don't remember all that much from it. Quote
