just to prove that i'm not completely rotting my brain on xmen, i thought i would announce that i finished reading to the lighthouse. below is the blurb i posted about it on my site.

definitely an interesting read. rather slow in general, but i liked the themes and the ideas and some of the stream of consciousness style, and how the three sections were set up and connected. allegorical but subtle and multi-dimensional.

still haven't found a really amazing book lately ... read doctor zhivago, a high wind in jamaica, and love medicine fairly recently. i'd say the count of monte cristo was the best i've read recently, and that was last summer. going to read some borges next and i plan on picking up the glenn gould reader that my sister bought for me way back when but which i haven't read yet. um, yeah ...
