Come Back Jonee

It appears that the powers that be have uncensored BLOGSPOT, at least for the time being. I've got some catching up to do...tomorrow.

Reading list

A few books to get me started:

East of Eden by John Steinbeck
The Bookseller of Kabul by Åsne Seierstad
Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai
Animal Dreams by Barbara Kingsolver
The Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
Nausea by John Paul Sartre
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon

but first of all, it's time to revisit
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig

I leave on Sunday, June 3. Never to come back, perhaps.
