Have you read any other Borges? I know "The Lottery in Babylon" is also available online, and "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" often comes up in discussions of Tolkien - I haven't read that one yet, though.<br /><br />Actually, I just finished reading <i>The Name of the Rose</i> a couple weeks ago, and the incident I describe seeing it at a hotel occurred within the past year, so my interest in LS was pretty well established independent of it.Still, I agree that the library made a fanststic setting - very mysterious at first, but once Brother William and Adso figured it outit was all very logically laid out.<br /><br />Much like a good murder mystery, in fact.T.

I fear the literary references were lost on me because the arcane quality of the library itself, coupled with the mystery surrounding it, made an overwhelming impression on me.Wynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31085320.post-4644099204278804622011-06-24T15:32:07.430-04:002011-06-24T15:32:07.430-04:00So…perhaps this was a silly assumption on my part…...So…perhaps this was a silly assumption on my part…but somehow I figured the thirty days of the Book Challenge would be more or less contiguous…<br /><br />Just sayin’.

When the subject turned to movies, it eventually came out that even though she is pushing 40 years old...she has NEVER seen any of the Indiana Jones movies! She was a teenager in the 80's and somehow managed to NEVER see these movies! Not in the theaters, not on VHS, never on cable, and not even in the last 10 years on DVD! How does this happen??? And the only reason this came up is because she remarked how "fun" the 'National Treasure' movies were...<br /><br />I'm still shaking my head when I think about this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31085320.post-65013968188096831322011-06-01T01:32:06.235-04:002011-06-01T01:32:06.235-04:00Oops.
