I will post about it in the next day or two and will then come back and fill in Mr. Linky. <BR/><BR/>I'm going to read 3 books by Czeslaw Milosz, as one of his poems was quoted in a book I received in the mail yesterday! I did some checking yesterday for titles by him, and it seems he was also quite an essayist. I may read a book of his essays along with some of his poetry. Also, since he is a nobel laureate, these books will count towards that reading project as well.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10906352691388129167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047922084795856437.post-61151637715374719202008-02-08T17:16:00.000-05:002008-02-08T17:16:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047922084795856437.post-42972102419184531682008-02-01T10:12:00.000-05:002008-02-01T10:12:00.000-05:00Hello!I can see that you are an active reader who ...Hello!<BR/><BR/>I can see that you are an active reader who enjoys discussing the books you read.
