Wow, ULYSSES? Are you serious? You've actually read/understood the whole thing? That's very impressive. I was an English Literature major and I knew grad students who devoted their entire education to studying just Ulysses. I would love to chat with you about Ulysses... maybe you could give me a handle on it since it's one of your favorites.

I just finished "Reading Lolita in Tehran", that was a great book, I would love to sit in on one of Azar Nafisi's lectures, she is incredible, I started to re-read Pride and Prejudice after...and I just bought The secret life of Houdini, it seems really good.

My favourite books: Pride and Prejudice (LOVE the 96 series as well, watch one episode daily over and over and never get bored of it)
All Jane Austin books and movies are my favourites

- Tess of the d'Urbervilles (and movie)
- Chinese Cinderella

I don't read a lot of fiction and romances, however I have tons and tons of favourite books under categories like "self help", psychology and Criminology

"Rosa Lee -A Mother and Her Family in Urban America" by Leon Dash. This is a rather deep book but it is at the same time, fasinating. It really opened my eyes to the plight of people of struggle. This book gets a 10+ for me.

My other fave book? Ha! Jenna Jameson's "How to make love like a porn star"

Completely opposite spectrums eh? :smile:
