Many of the Fruvous interludes have brought to mind Douglas Adams, so if you've not read the 5-part trilogy, do so. Fun stuff. Oh, and Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere". recent reads of my own: * THE Philosophy of Andy Warhol (From A to B & Back Again) --by Andy Warhol [fun, humourous and touching, actually. real.] * A History of the World in 10-1/2 Chapters -- Julian Barnes [just finished this one in TO] (well, *anything* by JB.) * Speak, Memory -- Vladimir Nabokov (autobiography) * If On a Winter's Night a Traveler -- Italo Calvino [a long-time favorite.] * any of the Diaries of Anais Nin * Alias Grace -- Margaret Atwood oh gosh, better stop now, i could go on indefinitely. leah /*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/ "Condoms aren't completely safe.

According to the Tour Info page at FDC, the lads are playing in San Francisco on Tuesday, Sept. 29. But according to Ticketweb, they're playing on Monday, Sept. 28. Since I work nights, I need to make sure I arrange for the right night off. (MIssing a Fru-show this close to home is, of course, not remotely conceivable.)

So I >>thought we could come up with a list of >>good books to keep people occupied >>during travel :) >> I've been travelling a lot in the last year, mostly for work but sometimes for concerts, and I've concentrated on filling in the holes in my education where the classics are concerned. I just finished Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy, a nice depressing book if ever I read one, as well as Hardy's Far From the Madding Crowd. Also Alexander Dumas' Queen Margot. I've also got a pile of Dickens on my "to read" book shelf. It never ceases to amaze me, even after my "liberal arts education," how many of the classics I haven't read. This hit home when I read the list compiled by (I think) the Modern Classics library of the top 100 books of the 20th century. The percentage of books I had read was a little embarassing, although I must say I'm not sure anything could compel me to read Ulysses. I could hardly finish Araby, and that was on of Joyce's *short* stories. chris (de-lurking briefly in the midst of packing for Owen Sound. gotta find a book for the plane!) **** "And where would we be without a bass guitarist?"

Did anyone catch the interview Fruvous did on U of T radio on Thursday last? I missed it and was wondering if someone could maybe post a transcript.
