He bought his ticket two weeks ago and left yesterday, crazy kid. So I told her not to worry about it. Thanks so much though!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14891577606793280015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12974756.post-57369484552920439212008-12-12T21:52:00.000+01:002008-12-12T21:52:00.000+01:00No, I have not read Robert Nixon.

I am also going to read the new Morrison, just have tons of books on my personal reading list first, as usual.Simon Hallidayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04289994368497331598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12974756.post-48449403670471827672008-12-12T20:51:00.000+01:002008-12-12T20:51:00.000+01:00Have you ever read the autobiography "Dreambirds" ...Have you ever read the autobiography "Dreambirds" by Robert Nixon? I'm just starting it now and have loved it so far. He grew up in South Africa and talks a lot about the Ostrich boom, as well as other colonial capitalist booms. Pretty interesting. Also is Anne McClintock's husband. So there are brief mentions of "his lover anne" who i've learned really likes to garden:)<BR/><BR/>I read Song of Solomon in a Toni Morrison Seminar and didn't really get into it as much as beloved. Ho hum. Both are brilliant, regardless. She just came out with a new novel a month ago and i'm pretty eager to get my hands on it.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14891577606793280015noreply@blogger.com
