Maya and Reading To-do

"We bear and are borne by a soul we do not know. When the riddle raises itself on two legs without being solved, it is our turn. When the dream picture pinches it's own arm without waking, it is us. For we are the riddle no one guesses. We are the fairy-tale trapped in its own image. We are what moves on and on without arriving at understanding..."

-Jostein Gaarder, Maya

I would love to spend a day with Jostein Gaarder, picking his mind. What is someone like that like in real life? Can you imagine conversation about life, consciousness and reality that would be?

It started with Sophie's World. An introduction to Philosophy, I heard it was, but taught within the context of a fantastical narrative. I loved it! I was mesmerized by The Solitaire Mystery too. Didn't like The Christmas Mystery too much. I still have to get my hands on Vita Brevis, but I've heard that's a good one.

*sigh* I've missed reading. So glad I'm getting to do it again. :)

To-do:

1. see if Joanne Harris has any new books out
2. get Brida by Paulo Coelho
3. get The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
4. wait for Anne Rice' new novel coming out this month
5. read Sleep, Pale Sister by Joanne Harris
6. find my copy of The Ringmaster's Daughter by Jostein Gaarder, buy a copy of Vita Brevis and see if he has any new books out
