1776 is getting some big promotion at Borders bookstore. I'm struggling to get through THE HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER, but I'm not having any trouble at all with a sci-fi one by K.J. Bishop entitled THE ETCHED CITY. A dark and deadly desert tale.

I've been reading "The Art of Computer Virus Research and Defense". It's a new book and to date the only one I've seen that covers viruses and worms to this level of detail. It was written by the Chief Technologist of Symantec, Peter Szor.

just finished "the winter of our discontent" (steinbeck) and i can't talk it up enough.. so i won't. just started "housekeeping" by robinson (i think) and so far so good. i'm not sure what's next, though. "ulysses" by james joyce is on my list but i keep putting it off.. i'm intimidated..

I'm halfway through The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath... it's not as "formal" as I thought it would be. I'm not crazy about it, but it's a pretty good read.

Hey Paul, can I borrow Winter of our Discontent from you? I realize I could lean into the computer lab's aisle and ask you this, but it's more fun to publicize my question... Damn, you signed off...

Winter of our Discontent is a fantastic book! Way better than Grapes of Wrath, in my opinion.

Steinbeck rules. Travels with Charlie is so cool.
