i pose this question to you

im trying not to talk too much about the republicans until after their convention, so instead, ill go with what is personally ailing me: choices in the next book i should buy.

since at least one of you is most certainly going to be effected by this decision, i thought id pose it here. ive narrowed my choices down to:

the lazarus project
netherland
the great railway bazaar

they are tied by a pretty common theme in my reading; they are semi-honest accounts of cultural immersion. im really only looking for a rejection of the lazarus project. if theres not one, i will probably move on with it.

and also- should i buy carl sandburgs complete works for 25 bucks or the chicago poems for 5? i have a feeling the chicago ones are the only ones ill enjoy, but id hate to miss a couple of hidden gems in his work.

interactive blog! interact!

The Lazzarus Project looks good, pick that one. pick the poems book you enjoy! You can always buy the other one later. What chapter are you up to in the Descartes book? Write you review of the speeches! i missed them tonite... grrrrr
