  albee33,

  This Summer (I hope!):

  "Mozart" by Solomon- I really loved his earlier Beethoven biography
  Hawkings- "A Brief history of Time"- as I'm shopping for a new watch
  various P.G. Wodehouse- "The World of Mr. Mulliner" for one
  "Never at Rest" -Westfall - a biography of Newton
  "The Poetics of Music"- Stravinsky. I know this book of Stravinsky's lectures, but would like to read it in the original French
  Marcel Proust: "A la recherche du temps perdu"- time to finally do this one or at least "Swann"!

  What are you reading?

  Cheers,

  Bambi B

      albee33,

      I wonder if we suffer from the same syndrome? I am an amazingly slow reader, as I often get so stimulated in thought, my mind wonders off to arguing or extending the reading material in my own way - literary chaos. A large non-fiction book can take me a week to get through. I also make the mistake of reading 3 or 4 simultaneously so they end up lasting forever. I remember a friend mentioning the only way out of this was to write furiously in the margins so as to kind of take charge over the book and move on! The worst for me is poetry by Rilke*** which I really love, as I keep making my own translations- I almost never like poetry in translation- though it's tough with exotics like Rumi and Issa.

      To the theme of Roy Rogers: "Happy pages to you, until we meet again"..

      Cheers,

      Bambi B
