Love Orwell's stuff. "Animal Farm" is good fun too and
has reminded me alot about my leadership/studen body
government class, lol.(which by the way my cousin
suckered me into enrolling for, but it's got it's ups
and downs just like anything else.;)

I loved "Flappers and Philosophers". Probably my
favorite book by Fitzgerald. "Great Gatsby" was good
too but it's been a while since I read that one. I
just started "Tender is the Night" and I'm having a
tough time sticking with it, but Hemingway seemed to
really like it:) (though I never could get into
Hemingway much)

My really good friend in New York got to see Allen
Ginsberg read his poetry a little before he died,
RIP:)
