How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

Travelogue Reading List

At the packing stage now. Getting extremely excited. More tomorrow if I have the time, otherwise from the other side. Here are the stories for the next 10 days. I love days like these:

1. The Electric Kool-Aid Test, by Tom Wolfe

2. Zuleika Dobson (or an Oxford Love Story), by Max Beerbaum

3. Half-Moon Street, by Paul Theroux

4. The Incredible Mile, by Harold Elvin

5. The Matisse Stories, by A.S. Byatt

6. The Time Traveler's Wife, by Audrey Niffenegger


Oh baby. Lunch on the Thames in about 31 hours. The surrealness of time and the magic of modern day travel. We are here to go. On and on into the grand abyss that is the morrow. Can't wait to see what it brings.
