I started reading <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Ethan Frome</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> last night, and it is less than 100 pages, and I'm still in the beginning of it.

			<description><![CDATA[ Has anybody seen/read the 2004 play &quot;Doubt&quot; by John Patrick Shanley? It's hugely critically acclaimed, winning the Tony Award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It's one of the best pieces of literature that I've ever read... Why the hell isn't anybody making it into a film? It's flawless. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I've been listening to this on CD, and about half way through, it has knocked me out.  It's by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the first novel from this Nigerian author.  It has a great sense of place (modern Nigeria), character development (teens w/ a nasty dad who also is a newspaper publisher who opposes the military regime coup), a plot that keeps your interest and educates you.  <br><br>The narrator is a native of South Africa, and her reading is excellent. ]]></description>

We used to do that on Jackee-Friday, but since I've become her roommate, not s'much.<br><br>But she also has a class out here on Saturdays.  Sometimes I drive with her and toodle around Mill Avenue for a bit, laughing at the horrible clothes college girls wear these days, and then we Pita, and then we touch the books.  But this weekend, and next, I'm located in Tempe, and so I met her today... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ if anyone is a food network junkie, you might remember a tv series by the same name, it's based on a book that's kind of a travelogue written by chef Anthony Bourdain as he travels around the world in search of the perfect meal. it's really great, and i'd reccomend it to anyone. it's like if hunter s. thompson wrote about food. though not for anyone with a weak stomach. some of the stuff he eats is pretty grody. anyway it's good. <br><br>but you don't have to take MY word for it! ]]></description>

			<link>http://yankeeracers33503.yuku.com/topic/2823/t/Jonathan-Safran-Foer.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ &quot;Everything is Illuminated&quot; and &quot;Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close&quot; are his two novels.  They are both wonderful.  I have never had a piece of writing affect me as much as both of his novels do.  His writing is so full of human emotions, but he combines them incredibly well with humor.  Everything is Illuminated is out in paperback, and I suggest you read it before the film comes out in August.  You won't be disappointed. ]]></description>

Personally, It was one of my favorite comics when I was little. It was one of the few that could not only appeal to small kids and adults, but make both of them laugh. So, if anyone has a hankering for some high quality humor, it's coming soon. ]]></description>
