Crazy! <BR/>I'd only viewed the movie, and the SIT80s blog thread that brought up "Garp" made me think I seriously needed to read the book. <BR/>I was never much of a reader growing up or in my teen/young adulthood. I'm trying to make up for it now.Marissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640540606897546407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25321235.post-76037720287713773832008-02-18T20:11:00.000-05:002008-02-18T20:11:00.000-05:00I am better -- save for my terrible cough that sha...I am better -- save for my terrible cough that shakes the rafters and wakes the neighbors. <BR/><BR/>I also have "Klosterman IV" on the nightstand. Waiting to be read. But I've just started a re-read on Garp and that seems to be the mindset I'm in at the moment. <BR/>I've got HST's "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72" also on the docket, along with "All the President's Men." I have a strange attachment to the Nixon era for some reason and am in the mood to immerse myself in it.

I'm not reading it yet. I will get to it. I'm digging into "CHuck Klosterman IV." <BR/>By this time I guess it's a safe assumption that you're feeling better.Marissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640540606897546407noreply@blogger.com
