Special Topics in Avoiding USMLE World
I slugged my way through Special Topics in Calamity Physics, slamming through the last 200 pages overnight last night. It unsettled me in the way reading any mystery does, which is why I avoid them. I prefer to be left savoring characters and insights, not picking apart plot hints. Today I find myself turning over the plot clues in my head tying together the loose ends. I didn't like the first half, the setting up bit. Too many verbal calisthenics, too few revelations about humanity.
Lolita is the only novel of Nabokov's that I've read. I was in the 9th grade- too young to appreciate it- but I didn't like it because I felt it too full of literary and sexual allusions. To devote myself the novel, I felt I had to keep skipping to the appendix at the end of my edition, and that ruined the flow. I complained to my then boyfriend that I felt that Nabokov had made a list of 500 obscure sexual references and piled them into his story hodge-podge. I don't know that I'd feel the same way today, but it is how I feel about the first half of Pessl's book.
I'm listening to:
Polysics- Polysics or Die!!!
I newly love this cover of My Sharona.

Hargraves had used his opportunities well. http://startso11.info/rozklad+pks+olsztyn.html. I am aware that this conception cannot be generally demonstrated, but I maintain nevertheless that it can be frequently demonstrated, even http://startso11.info/hipermarkiety.html when it was not suspected, and that it cannot be generally refuted.. One of http://storyah44.info/powiatowy+urz%C4%85d+pracy+w+ostrowi+mazowieckiej.html the four Jerries , he added, was of gigantic magnitude.. Kingsbury was too passionate to listen to reason, or to reflect for one moment upon the irreproachable good name http://rebestal.info/data+skrypt+html.html of the schoolmaster.. Dear me, how annoying, said the blonde matron, but the brunette matron still stared, without the slightest trace of interest in http://startso11.info/yoytube.com.html anything else, at the infinitesimal spot she had selected on the affronting window-shade.. Since the dreamers do not themselves know the meaning of the symbols they use, it remains a puzzle whence arises their relationship with http://startso11.info/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wp.media.pl%2F.html what they replace and denote.. We can call those http://storyah44.info/piotr+koj.wp.pl.html dreams properly made up which are the result of an elaboration in every way analogous to the psychical action of our waking life.. 7, in the 10th Range. http://startso11.info/Sada+Husajn.html. Something alive and tangible had come to link http://startso11.info/www+gpw.html them with the happy past.. Children's dreams leave no doubt http://startso11.info/inglessina.html that an unfulfilled wish of the day may be the instigator of the dream.. Well, then, http://rebestal.info/s%C5%82owenia.html I will tell you.. The Major was http://startso11.info/pwsz+legnica.html in a white heat of anger, but regained his equanimity, according to his code of manners, as soon as he was in Miss Lydia's presence.. The glasses http://startso11.info/gryjeja.pl.html have lost much of their fascination now, and I do not often use them.. He was so large-hearted http://rebestal.info/rossmann.pl.html and open-handed.. His further associations showed http://startso11.info/kolejpwa.html that he had established an analogy between this relation between his parents and his own relation toward his younger brother...
