William Faulkner: Go Down Moses. I love the imagery of the old Mississippi Delta when it was a wild wooded bottom land. Had a hard time with Faulkner when I was younger. Now I find him rich and languid.

Frank, you're ready for Human, All Too Human.
Welcome to The Dark Side.

I've read some Nietzsche, but never gave time to "Human." I was on the dark side for a very long time. But it was tempered by Locke, Emerson, Thoreau, Plato, Voltaire, and many more.
From time to time I do go back to the dark side, if only to remember what I've forgotten. However, I may pick up "human" again. I know it's in my library.

I'm a massive sucker for Russian literature, both before and after my time in Russia.
Reading Maxim Gorky's "Fragments of Fragments from My Diary."
Reading Issac Babel's complete collection of short stories, including "Red Calvary" and "The Odessa Tales."

Just finished reading "The Pipe Book" by Alfred Dunhill. Really interesting stuff for anyone interested in the development of pipes across all cultures and history.

Just finished the Daniel Silva series, all of them. All of them come true. Starts getting better from #7 The Secret Servant. Much history.

Bradley, didn't see The Unlikely Spy, will look for it. Found it bought it.
