Why did the topologist eat his book?

Posted by tendiamonds on 2006-11-08 19:57:22 +0000

He thought it was an apple.

A lesbian hooker from Chelsea MA works in brothel on Boylston st. in Boston-- the book chronicles her life and relationships. It's a graphic novel with a lot of nudity and sex, but written in a kind of melancholic, detached way. It's a pretty interesting book I picked up used at the Brookline Booksmith.

But this is the book I'm obsessed with-- I think I've read it 3 times. Dolly Freed and her daddy "the old coot" tell you how to live off the land in suburban PA. Includes instructions on how to grow and skin bunnies and build your own still.

Sounds like porn to me!

Still working my way through "A Confederacy of Dunces" and loving every minute of it. One thing that makes me chuckle about it is that the Levy family is not Jewish.

One of my favorite books of all time. Trying to get a rabbi who wrote "Up, Up, and Oy Vey" to come speak here in February or March!

LOL LOL LMAO A topologist would never confuse his apple and donut. Unless it was a Munchkin(tm).

Posted by MF DU on 2006-11-09 16:30:01 +0000

saucy. BTW, Buzz: Ed Meese called. He wants his old job back.

Taking a break from the Karamazovs to plough through Sarah Vowell's 2002 essay collection "The Partly Cloudy Patriot". I'm thinking of sending her a fan letter.

Posted by pchippy on 2006-11-12 12:39:29 +0000

I think she did it on accident.

Posted by tgl on 2006-11-12 20:06:24 +0000

Both times?

Finished "A Confederacy of Dunces" and now reading "The Magnificent Ambersons," the first Fiction Pulitzer Prize winner...in 1918. Still working my way through the introduction.
