A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. William Styron
So, given that a great book should provide experience and leave you exhausted, what books do you think qualify? Here is the list, one persons idea of the experientially exhausting.
Don Quixote de la Mancha, by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra will certainly be on many lists. Have a look at The Don Quixote Exhibit, from the Milton S. Eisenhower Library at Johns Hopkins University.
Reflections in a Looking Glass: A Lewis Carroll Centenary Exhibition from The Ransom Center at UT.
The Digital Photography Exhibit, an international juried exhibit exploring new work created by artists who work with cameras and computers.
Book Confab Techno-Crazed. Wired on Book Fair America.
News from Germany
Since I'm going to Germany soon, I thought I'd start reading a little German news. Hey, here's an interesting story, Germany builds 'trucks' that fly.
I got a couple of interesting links from André Radke in the Discuss area.
English Service of Radio Deutsche Welle. It looks like the top story in Germany right now is the Closing Down Chernobyl. I can imagine why!
GermNews is another news site with and English Edition. They have a cool Glossary that explains difficult to understand German terms. The example André used was Einkommenssteuer. What?!?
Thanks André.
