in deep: country essays
 
by maxine kumin
 
also jane eyre, which i have never read
 
and infinite jest. once more unto the breach, dear friends

Jane Eyre is a great book.  I found the cross-dressing scene well trippy.  That shit isn't in the movies.

we watched the 2011 adaptation a few days ago and it was amazing, a beautiful and exquisitely-done film. so now i have resolved to read the novel
 
50 / 682 pages so far

[User]

Yeah, that is a great film.  I saw the early gloryhole era adaptation when I was young'un and it freaked me the fuck out.  I would have been about eight at the time.

I found it on the bookshelf by the bathroom today


my HP Lovecraft collected works book is still missing though

[Abzu]

I picked up a Lovecraft collection a few years back that looked really cool but is not so well bound and was produced cheaply. It's pretty to look at but will not hold up well to handling as the years progress.
 
Here's a photo of it I found with GIS


 
I've seen some hardcover versions floating around that probably hold up far better.
 
Which collection do you have?

[Ninny]

Endgame strategy-Shereshevski
French advance-Kosten
Modern benoni-Palliser
When I down all this I'll be fruital at the chess board. But it's hard and I don't seem to be improving
