I recently posted a few of my books on www.zunafish.com, a website for trading CDs, DVDs, books, etc. I have two offers for books people would like to trade with me and can't decide which ones to pick. If you've read any of these books, let me know what you thought of it!

I really like Tennyson, you should look up his poems and see if you like them before getting that book.

The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu
...
I heard that's an awesome book. I think it's by a woman... Let me wikipedia it for you and then get the link.

Edit x2:
A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen
^ That made an impact on me. i read parts of it in 10th grade and have yet to read the whole thing (though the bulk was covered in class). It basically talks about marriage and a woman's place in society.. I loved it, at least.

This seems like the right spot to plug Project Gutenberg. I love this site.

On this site you can get easy access to nearly endless classics of literature. Any titles you listed that are from authors now in the public domain will most likely be on there. If you particularly enjoy what you read, by all means buy or trade for the hard copy (or even better, hire an independent book binder to custom make you one). Free access to literary history huzzah!

[Attica]

The Waste Land, Prufrock and Other Poems by T. S. Eliot
^ One of my favorite authors.

Also, Walt Whitman's song of hisself is pretty much off the hizza. I liked what I'd read of it.

Nice.
I like to take books with me on long trips or to sit outside on the porch to read. With this site, I could print out books and read them endlessly. I'd still prefer hard copies though, something to put on my pretty new bookshelf.

The Waste Land, Prufrock and Other Poems by T. S. Eliot
^ One of my favorite authors.

TSE is one of those rare talents that bring new definition to the cliche phrase "blew my mind". Most writers, even great ones, you can read and figure out how they came up with the ideas, imagery and narrative voice they choose.

TSE 's "The Wasteland" is a piece of work which I just can't comprehend the process which led to its conceptualization and construction - and that amazes me. It's hard to describe the nature of the satisfaction which comes from reading and enjoying his work in general (and The Wasteland in particular) but I'm sure there are a few who know what I'm talking about.

[Attica]

TSE is hauntingly amazing. I don't think I've ever read anything quite like his poetry. He's mystifying and I love the feeling of knowing what he's talking about and then at the same time being totally dumbfounded and scrounging for what to say about his works.

I wish I could write more like him. But for now, after reading 100 sonetos de amor, by Pablo Neruda, I find myself using bread and earth in my poems, like there's no damned tomorrow.

I loved "A Doll's House", an early feminist play...


My RL first name is Nora. (Same as the heroine's in the play) I used to tell people I was named after her. Alas, it's a lie.


My mother was a fan of "The Thin Man" movies. I'm named after Myrna Loy's character, Nora Charles. *sigh* Sophisticated, but hardly feminist.

[Attica]

I loved it a lot, Kelles.

My name is Brianne. I was named after the main character in Timless Passions. A romance novel. Lovely.
