I want this book so badly! I found it in Borders for $35 and read the first 70 pages (ie barely started) and it is so amazing!!
A note upon his desk
"P.S. Bring Me Home And Have Me!"
Leather elbows on a tweed coat
-Oh!-
Is THAT the best you can do ?
So came his reply :
"But on the desk is where I want you!"

James Joyce - Dubliners
I love short stories and these are veeeery good.
I am looking for a book about Truman Capote written by George Plimpton called "Truman Capote: In Which Various Friends, Enemies, Acquaintences and Detractors Recall His Turbulent Career", I can't find it here and I don't have a credit card... I think I will need help from a very good friend from North America, I hate my city when I can't find a book.

tonight i ordered:
The Mentality of Apes
by: Wolfgang Kohler, one of the founding fathers of Gestalt Psychology, a work I've read before but simply must have in my collection because of his description of "proto-religious behaviour" in chimpanzees.
and
Elements Of Folk Psychology - Outline Of A Psychological History Of The Development Of Mankind
by Wilhelm Wundt, the father of modern academic psychology. this is a 19th century book, something i've wanted for over five years now
old school, i guess that's the name of the game right now

'O Pioneers!' by Willa Cather. Bought it today: beautiful edition, generous price and an amazing read.
Oh and last week my mama gave me a present: Mark Twain's 'A Tramp Abroad'.

There are two film versions of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: a 1916 silent film, and most notably a 1954 Walt Disney production, which is the most well-known adaptation. There are also two TV movie versions produced in the US in the late 90s.
