"and now for something completely different..."

I have been watching a lot of Monty Python's Flying Circus recently--and have thus rekindled my love for Eric Idle, Graham Chapman, and John Cleese.

Enough with big life stories...I've got to share what has been read.
Finished Gaskell's "North and South" a while back. Pretty good. Two words for you: abrupt ending. Definitely liked "Wives and Daughters" better.
"The Reserve" by Russell Banks. Unnecessarily crazy. Beyond reality...and not in a good way.
Currently reading: "Dombey and Son", Dickens. I'm turning into a English Literature/Victorian nut. Could be worse.
Next on the list? "Anthem", Ayn Rand; or perhaps "Villette", Charlotte Bronte.

Clearly, I'm trying to hit the "off" classics before I kick the bucket.
