Oh yes!
Do take into consideration that it was actually just a stack of paper found in his room when he died. Any order was applied by editors / scholars. I still dream of an edition where you can just put the pieces in any order you like.
just found this at goodwill, been looking almost twenty years for another copy... gonna re-read this afternoon, favorite part is when they're at the Beatles concert and all the people are just screaming and waiving their hands in the air like a bunch of octopus, and they can't handle it and have to leave...
After a long Summer of working I finally finished the last of 3 books I had to read for school. I read The Fifth Child, Into the Wild, and A Farewell to Arms.
I have to say that I enjoyed all the books, but Into the Wild was such a great book, it definitely made me want to try new things and try to live a more adventurous life. Great book, read it if you can.
just went to the corner store for more Grolsch , see drunk high posting in general 8-31-10 3:49 offical Grolsch minute , and found this at Goodwill, how apropos...
Right now I am reading "The Killing Bone" by Peter Saxon, pretty cool occult type fiction. I broke down and got one of the Nook ereader things and it is pretty neat. Lots of cheap and free books. For a buck I got "10 extreme sci-fy tales to die for". I'm half way through and it is great so far. Mr. Spaceship is a wacky one by P K Dick that I have never seen before and the only oddity so far was "Red Nails" by R E Howard which is a fantastic story that I have read many times but it is not very sci-fy imo. There is no way I will ever get rid of my paper books in favor of the e versions but it is nice to have as a supplement.
On her ship tied to the mast. To distant lands. Takes both my hands. Never a frown with Golden Brown......
