$300, please, you can pay the laddie at the door. I'll give you a 50% discount if you give up being a farking lawyer.

Ricky, the Muffin Man wishes you virtual scones. Not as fattening as the regular kind, but full of love and care.

No Keys, locked out with puppy

No wallet to prove I live here

No watch to know howwww loooong I've been waiting

Don't know the caretakers buzzer number

Don't know my neighbors names or suite numbers

Wandered around aimlessly walking dog until I recognized someone that would know me.
Finally someone I knew and who knew me, (more likely they knew the puppy)
About an hour out in the cold
Close to tears
Glad I had the puppy
Glad I'm back inside and on MR

I'm going to bury a set of keys somewhere....

Locking doors? Why? That's weird concept!

Let's see .... so far this month it's been pneumonia, visual disturbances, a flood, and now my back's done gone and thrown itself out. Do I hear an AMEN!!??

Ricky, you've had enough fer one week now. Now if you can't take care of yourself properly I'll be firm and tell you: You're grounded, go to your room! But you can use the computer. Only for MR

Just posted a batch of Jack London books. I enjoy reading London and most people never read any of his works aside from a few famous pieces like Call of the Wild and White Fang. Enjoy. There are more to come.

How about Iron Heel? It's on my 1001 list. I have that it's available on Sony but for like 11 bucks.

I posted it last November. It was one of the first London books I posted. It is a great book. Well worth the effort. It is in the same league as 1984 and Brave New World. Here's the link.

Hrmm, I must have missed it when I was going though the selections.

I just looked at your list and two of my favorite books by Gunter Grass are on it -- The Tin Drum and Cat and Mouse. Both have great English translations. The first is massive and the second is an afternoon's read. He is the best of the post WW-II German writers.

Cat and Mouse was an optional book for a lit course in college and that summer I read everything of his I could find in English.
