I started reading Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Idiot . I started reading it before, and I didn't get through much of it. I really liked everything I've read by him (except Poor Folk) so I'm going to give this another chance.
yesterday -
I finished reading Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi. This was a really good book, and even though I hadn't read any of the authors mentioned (though I want to read Nabokov's Lolita, and Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby) I still enjoyed the discussions, the social history of post-revolutionary Iran, and the relationship between these young women and their professor.

I figured out that the Last.fm radio has changed. What you have to do now is enter a band name and it plays bands similar to the one typed. I've been typing in Au Pairs, and in addition to Au Pairs, check out what I've heard....Essential Logic, Babes in Toyland, Bush Tetras, L7, Joy Division, Television, Young Marble Giants, A Certain Ratio, The Slits, Liliput, Pere Ubu, The Television Personalities, The Monochrome Set, Devo, Gang of Four, Mekons, Mission of Burma, James Chance and the Contortions......I love internet radio.
