Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Gloomy news today, apparently Brian Lamb (CSPAN) is planning to discontinue his Booknotes show. It was usually 3 hours, a one on one interview with an author. Has had some very good shows over the years. Lamb says he just doesn't want to take the time to prepare for it anymore.

Anna Karenina update: I'm on page 451 out of 736... *deep breath* continue on... After this and War and Peace, I'm beginning to wonder if Tolstoy was really a committee of typists... how did he write all of this, by hand on paper yet...

After this one, my next thick Russian book will probably be The Brothers Karamozov, by Dostoevsky.

I finished up Amsterdam, and have started on The Remains of the Day
