4. I haven't gotten to that link yet.

I've been reading Brazilian poetry (Castro Alves, Patitva do Assaré) and prose for the past couple hours after a quick review of authors like Paine and Thoreau (just read "Civil Disobedience")... Man, they have SO MUCH!... Boccaccio "The Decameron" in Italian AND English!... Emile Zola... Mark Twain... Christopher Marlowe "The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus"... I'm NEVER going to get any sleep! :boring:

5. I know what you mean

I have to set myself a timer to stop reading and get my other stuff done.
