小问题

Which Henry James novel were we going to read?  Portrait of a Lady or Turn of the Screw?   I've finally typed out my official list.

The Ambassadors. I hate you for typing in Chinese.

Mashaojie (is that your name?) you have to remember Claire can't speak Chinese, WAY TO BE EXCLUSIVE.

But I like their Chinese font too.

How have you not typed out an official list already, John? I'm disappointed, hurt, actually. I thought our aspirations were wrapped up in books. Hang your head in shame and cry your life away, John.

I thought we had agreed on The Ambassadors? I still haven't found a copy, though. Australian books are horrendously expensive. I was all excited to find different editions and titles of books, only to find that a copy of, say Middlesex, is $30. Have you been going to used bookshops in Berkeley, Claire? Moe's? Pendragon?

I also thought we were reading Kundera (the Unbearable Lightness of Being) along with Nietzsche. If we do Austen, then, I think I'm reading Sense and Sensibility?

Have a good time at Princeton, John...oh, and I heard that they're filming Transformers 2 on campus?

i completely forgot about the ambassadors. i read like a third of the american earlier this summer. it's not one of his better ones. okay, the ambassadors it is.

i'm sorry for using chinese. i should have put a short translation next to the title. it means: small question. my comment means: so pretty!

mashaojie is my mingzi, yes. oh! and I got a job! claire knows this yet i repeat it out of vanity.
