Etc. - Weekly Question (11/10/08): Which was "the one?" - posted 3 weeks ago

I was obsessed with Sherlock Holmes when I was in third grade or so - I had this huge book with every Sherlock Holmes story in it and I read it through a few times in elementary school.

I loved books and read a lot before then, but that's the one that sticks out most in my mind...

Etc. - Question of the Week (11/3/2008): Pick Your President - posted 4 weeks ago

Atticus Finch, from To Kill a Mockingbird. He's super-smart, fair, and not afraid to stand up for what's right. And although he's a great shot, he doesn't like violence.

Etc. - Question of the Week (10/27/2008): What books scare you? - posted last month

Parts of It are pretty scary. Also, the scene in Red Dragon (Thomas Harris) where Will Graham is walking through a house where a whole family was killed.... scary, the first time you read it.

I really want to dress up as Cyrano de Bergerac. But I want to take the time to make the costume look amazing, so I hope to do it another year. This year I'm going to be a character from an anime series.

Etc. - Question of the Week (10/20/2008): The Great American novel? - posted last month

The Great Gatsby!

Etc. - Question of the Week (10/13/2008): Who would you be? - posted last month

I'd be Alice, from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - I think it'd be fun to see all of Lewis Carroll's bizarre characters.

Hello MaggieH!

Some books I think would be good to have:
McTeague - Frank Norris
The Confessions of Nat Turner
Eugene Onegin - Pushkin
A Hero of Our Time - Lermontov
Carmen - Prosper Merimee
Against the Grain - J.K. Huysmans
Concerning the Spiritual in Art - Wassily Kandinsky
Essays by Emerson

And although there isn't anything by him on Project Gutenberg, it would be awesome to have some Max Weber!

Thanks!
