The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. A really nice book about fulfilling one's dreams. It really inspired me.

It's taken me 12 years to read the first half of "Mansfield Park". The second half, once Henry Crawford announces his intention to fuck Fanny, is pretty good and will be finished by Friday.

Re: Books you are currently reading
Good morning. Happy to see FNB still going strong. Currently I'm reading The History of That Ingenious Gentleman Don Quijote de La Mancha, The Cambridge Companion to T. S. Eliot and The Southern Critics: An Anthology. I haven't started them yet but have agreed to so shall start soon.

Just started to re-read Dickens' Bleak House. A powerful book and still relevant to our times 150 years after it was first published.
