I'm battling through Proust--Swann's Way. But I keep falling asleep during the first 7 pages.

That's the one.

I'll race you to see who finishes first.

Kind of an appropriate challenge don't you think?

How is it? I saw that at my lbs (local book shop.) The Boston Globe did a magazine special in their Sunday paper a few few years back. I saved it.

Six Frigates was a great read.

I'm currently reading The Queen of the South by Arturo Perez-Reverte (Club Dumas and Fencing Master).

I'm now about 1/4 through Major.

It reads very smoothly and it is obvious the author did huge amounts of research to put this tory together as factually and with as much relavent detail as possible.

It is also clear that the author has a real feel for the country during that era and the bicycle's part in it.

More later.

I am currently reading the Autobiography of Malcom X. I kinda just picked it up and it is a fantastic book. I cant say I agree with all his politics...but Brother Minister was certainly an amazing dude. It is a fantstic story and offers a lot of insight into the Harlem-Boston Negro culture back in the 50's.

That dude was tough.
