Pages

John Updike: Rabbit Redux
Even though his latest novel, "Terrorist" has been panned, Mr. New Yorker's fine Rabbit Quartet still gives us our best, and most disturbing, portrait of the modern, somewhat superfluous, man. A former high school hoops star finds life a bit rough in a small Pennsylvania town. Sound familiar? The Rabbit Quartet was recently named one of the best American novels of the last 25 years by the New York Times Book Review
Wallace Stegner: Angle of Repose
This book has stuck with me for quite a while. Gorgeous tale of hardship, love and the settling of the West. This book won the Pulitzer Prize in the early 70's and is well worth the time that it may take to really get into it. I love the fact that the wheelchair bound Lyman Ward, a secondary protagonist/narrator, enjoys little more than pouring himself two fingers of bourbon and watching Giants games on the tube.
Guy de Maupassant: Bel-Ami
Late 19th century story of a man's descent into journalistic corruption. A quick read that is never very challenging but is certain to entertain.
Honore de Balzac: Lost Illusions
Typical melodramtic mid-19th century French drivel. But I love it. Long weepy monologues about art, social circles and the wonders of Paris (not to mention the hilarious ways that they talk about sex without really talking about sex). The tale of Lucien Chardon will keep you interested for the full 700 pages, I swear.

Death to the Knicks

I woke up this morning and I felt that I was still in the midst of a dream. Granted, the weather today is funky and gray with even a rare speck of rain on the windows but still the most peculiar sensation coated my waking moments. This move, exciting as it is, also is somewhat surreal right now.

Reality set in once I started to compile quotes for movers. Geez....

Now for the important stuff concerning my move:

You heard me right, Starbury, you chump...I will never be a Knicks fan. period. Even if Dolan got rid of Isiah and you.

I will never, EVER root for the Yankees. It makes me sick to even think about wearing a Yankees cap.

Who cares about the Jets and Giants? Seriously? Not me...

I could possibly adopt the Mets as my new NL team. God knows the SF baseball Giants became a boring old team with that pompous idiot Bonds commanding so much attention.

Maybe I'll cultivate an interest in hockey and the NY Rangers. Maybe...

I will continue to utilize my bike as my commuting vehicle as much as I possibly can. The NYC subway system does allow bikes on it's trains...
