I've only read that interview book, but I'm probably going to buy Against Interpretation very soon. I'm interested in her essay and journal collections in particular, but if I stay interested, the full books on illness and such are next in line.

I'm not familiar with Anaïs Nin, but I'm skimming her Wikipedia article and she seems like an interesting figure. I see she's got some journal collections and other non-fiction. Any recommendations on that end?

By the entire thing do you mean just the original trilogy or all the books set in Foundation universe or all the books set in the merged universe?

I’ve read the original three and several others he wrote later and the three he wrote before the first Foundation. My favorite Asimov series is the Robot series.

That was an unforgivably boring book. I didn’t find it “easy” because I was thinking about everything else since it didn’t grab my attention at all.

Moi.
Good times.

What an incredible day! I visited the unparalleled James Joyce Collection at The University at Buffalo and beheld Joyce’s spectacles, the 1939 first edition of Finnegans Wake, and Sylvia Beach’s personally-bound copy of Ulysses. I surveyed Joyce’s collected notebooks and related lit and met with a Joycean scholar who operates a used bookshop in town in an effort to secure one of the University’s workbooks with facsimiles of Joyce’s handwritten notes for The Wake. It's quite a rare specimen but I enjoy a challenge! And as a gift, a professor kindly provided me with a copy of Discovering James Joyce: The University at Buffalo Collection!

The manuscripts were riveting, and as icing on the cake I happened upon a stunning Joyce portrait from The Irish Classical Theatre’s 2000 production of Nightmaze - The Wake realized for the stage - which would be a brilliant complement to my framed issue of Time from ‘39 with Joyce’s portrait on the cover. The proprietor of the bookshop refused to part with the print but I’ve contacted the Classical Theatre to see if they have a copy.

Also enjoyed some engaging conversations with library and bookshop patrons. A fine day, indeed!

Just started a classic.

First time?

Third, but this time Karen chose it and she hasn't read it before, so it's (mostly) new to her.

I hope you read it more passionate than you did in the voice exchange thread.
And also mimic explosions and stuff.

Not really. My voice is what it is, though kind of yeah: when you're reading out loud to someone there's a little more emphasis and life required than when you're just basically reading into a microphone.
