Random question...

[x_dazzler]

Anyone have any books they'd like to refer to me, for reading? I've been working through the backlog on my reading shelf lately and finding new stuff to look into is being considered just now. Any topic is good, I can handle English and Spanish and if I push it real hard, maybe French. (I may need help on the French if it makes use of something other than the general popular terms/language though. So if you suggest that, be ready to be nagged and stuff.)

Oh! And Hank? The origami critters are still a hit. Thank you. Miles asked me how to make cranes so I showed him - but I thought you might want to show him how to make some of the others? Some of those I wouldn't have the first clue how to go about making anyway. You went pretty wild there, pun unintended. ;)

Oh god, the topaz book.

I know there were things in Baudolino besides numerous mentions of topaz, but damned if I can remember it...

I remember that book. There was a definite topaz motif, wasn't there?

Prefer to read Eco's heavier stuff, when I do. Although he's got a new novel coming out in June, too, if I'm not mistaken.

It was enough to put me entirely off gemstones for a year.

I prefer the Name of the Rose, really.

Topaz. That reminds me, of a certain thing that was made to catch sunlight that I still have in my room. :)

...The mobile?

Pattern Recognition was high on my list already. I'll put that on my shopping list for the next batch coming in then. May hit up Amazon for a delivery today even.

Hrm. And alla them others too while I'm at it.

Someone left a copy of Baudolino in my desk a few weeks ago. I wonder if that was significant?
