nerd137 0 #54 October 3, 2005 QuoteAnother Country by James Baldwin. I had to read it for school, but it actually turned out to be quite decent. Im re-reading it now to get what I missed and for a paper thats due in a week. Outstanding book. If you like Baldwin much, my favorite is "If Beale Street Could Talk." That one really got me going on him. (He's one of my favorite authors.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #72 October 4, 2005 QuoteYeah but everytime I get bored with it, I go look at my shiney new SCUBA gear and think "Can't play with you till I finish this stuff....." Mine has been sitting in the gear bag since I took the course last year. Methinks it's time to schedule a trip to a warmer climate for some diving. I'm just not that into the murky local diving scene to invest in a dry suit, and it's too effing cold to do with a rental wetsuit.
