really really great. there was not one story that i did not like.
i am reading arundhati roy's 'the god of small things' and so far am not impressed by the rushdie-like compound words and magic realism. i will give props for select imagery and back-history scene switching.
opera update: i now know enough to judge that anne sofie von otter generally does good handel and has better musicality and precision than most other mezzos, but that paula rasmussen is a better 'serse'. would i be correct however in assuming that most people would not enjoy listening to opera as general background music? i.e. can i listen to it at work without alienating everybody? serious question. i can't really tell anymore.
