first two books Dr. Zhivago and Boris Gudunov. I don't know why more people didn't read this month's selection but just in case it was because they assumed they wouldn't get it or were a little intimidated please don't sell yourself short! I am not that smart but the effort (if any) that I put into those two books was so worth it! I have read both of them at least twice already because I loved the way the writers wrote things. They really were beautiful even in English and even when the translation didn't do them justice.

I can't guarantee that I will like the rest of the books but those two appealed to the part of me that loves beautiful and profound things. I don't have the verbal skills to explain what they did to me. I just hope that maybe someone reading this will say to themselves. Hey, maybe I should have tried those books after all. If Teresa can get it, anyone can get it!

Re: Gypsy Poem

I am going to have to read this again a couple times before I comment. The television is up too loud right now for me to concentrate. I will try again when I am alone or everyone is being quiet. Important things can not be fully appreciated with irritating background noise.

I think I will have fun with it.
