still reading Borne, but to be different, instead of re-reading It, i decided to finally get my feet wet on the audio book side of things. steven weber is really captivating. and he's doing richie's voices! i'll have to try this with a book i've never read before to see how well i absorb a story from an audio book vs reading

For me, his outstanding audio performance breathed new life into this story. I have listened to it twice.

I've (finally) begun re-reading Duma Key for the umpteenth time, as I read it and Fitzgerald's Tender Is The Night every summer. Which is all but over. I'd hoped to read all the John D. McDonald Travis McGee novels (in order) during the course of the summer, but did not get around to reading even one. Too bizzy! I haven't even tracked all the McGee books down yet. Can you read books set in the Florida Keys during the fall or winter? I may give it a whirl. But in the meantime ...

Started Blue World today. Finished the first story (Yellow Jacket Summer i think it was) and that boy was creepy....
Kurben, I'm on page 105 of The Secret History and it's spellbinding. I've been lucky with a streak of excellent books. It reminds me of Brideshead Revisited mixed with A Separate Peace with plenty of gothic mystery. Didn't you say this was your favorite Tartt novel? Too bad she only publishes a book every ten years.
