Ordered these books yesterday:
  • 1 of: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values
  • 1 of: Ask the Dust (P.S.)
  • 1 of: The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt (Vintage International)
  • 1 of: The Great Shark Hunt: Strange Tales from a Strange Time
  • 1 of: Post Office
  • 1 of: Death on the Installment Plan
  • 1 of: Point Counter Point (British Literature)
  • 1 of: The Last Night of the Earth Poems
Looks like it might take a while to ship, though.

I'm still reading Turgenev and very much enjoying it. I really like the characters. Bazarov really is showing tthe faults of nihilism. It even seems like he doesn't believe in it himself anymore. Arkady seems to not believe in Barazovs ways either. He seems to call him his mentor just because nihilism was so interesting.
Anyway, I'll probably finish it today.

Sheakespeare's Bawdy by Eric Partridge, 1956. It claims to be an exploration of the 'the non-sexual, sexual, homosexual, general and valedictory' aspects of the bawdy in Sheakespeare. It further claims to be a 'literary and psychological essay and a comprehensive glossary' that is 'an invaluable work'. We'll see.

"Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea," by Charles Seife, and it is very good. It's all about the number zero - it's history, it's signifigance - and while that may not sound too interesting, it really is.
