I had never heard of Banville when I bought the books. I thought they were popular biographies. But of course they are literary "biographies" with a lot of poetic licence. Powerful, though, and his language is evocative.

Yes, that is his strength. His novels are fine examples of how to use the language.

Well, Mac must be home now and I missed him.

Hello, Moties!

Hi Magos!

16995. Magoseph - 10/13/2005 9:01:25 PM

I was waiting as you can see for someone to say hello to me.
How very nice of you to do so!

I'm watching the market--I'm nervous.

17001. Jenerator - 10/13/2005 10:07:20 PM

No??!!

17002. Jenerator - 10/13/2005 10:07:47 PM

This means I have to enjoy my meaningless victory alone!

17003. Ms. No - 10/13/2005 10:37:42 PM

Aaaaahhh!!!!!

I can't believe I missed that!!! Hell, I was even looking for it on Thursday figuring I'd miss it and now here I was within reach and didn't even notice.

Congrats, Jen!

Mago,

What's happening with the market? I never know any news until I leave work unless something huge happens and my co-workers come tell me.

17005. Jenerator - 10/13/2005 11:05:38 PM

Thanks MsNo.

;-)

17006. Magoseph - 10/14/2005 12:05:11 AM

Hi, Jen.

Ms. No--not much happened at the end, just various fears being expressed.

17007. wonkers2 - 10/14/2005 12:13:32 AM

The market ain't looking very good--higher interest rates, housing bubble, growing deficit, troubled U.S. car companies, high oil and natural gas prices, White House in disarray, etc, etc.

Speaking of cars, this will be my next purchase:



Dodge Magnum.

I'm probably going to get a car at the end of the summer, and I'd thought about getting a hybrid, but I think I'm going to get a Jetta. I was going to buy Mose's Jetta from her when she graduated college so she could buy another car for herself (hers is very nice with lots of nice features), but it'll be driven into the ground by then. She's put 60,000 miles on it in about 2 1/2 years.

That car looks like it would be really good for a growing family.
