Next I' m reading "Das Capital", then maybe "Communist Manifesto" followed by "Mein Kampf".
Anyone know where I can get a copy of Maos "Little Red Book"? Dave

Pukka - Send me some of what you're smoking.
 You've dashed any hopes that I may have had of coming off as a quasi-intellectual.

I'll admit to having been bored to tears every time Jim Lehrer brought Robert Pinsky, the US Poet Laureate in the late 1990's, on his show to read something. There's just some sort of overbearing world-weariness thing going on whenever a poet recites a poem.

There once was a girl from Kilkenny....
 Highbow stuff! lolI only know 1 poem, I had to memorize it for school, started 'Hither, art thou wave? Hither, as if a thief wert thou?' Ended, 'to wash away the slime, of the muddy banks of time.' Wordsworth, Longfellow, I almost recall. School is fading fast. Pete

Poetry is one of those cultural things that I'd like to say that I enjoyed, but I just can't. Same goes for opera. I've been to several operas and was bored to tears.

I just can't do opera either. On the rare occasion I MUST I'm always waiting for this lady.

There once was a girl from Nantucket,
who crossed the sea in a bucket.... Pete

Pukka, you say there was a woman from Kilkenny a lot nicer than I do
 It's a snowy mess here, has been with just a little break for a week, but there is one beautiful thing reserved for cold climes - the blue mornings. I love it. Pete
