<p>I think Madras just might have all those places trumped. Or maybe not, it is an intellectual Mecca after all...Did you know that wise Methridates lives here? It's true.</p>
<p>Fair enough. I suppose that bashing Jersey is kind of hypocritical considering my proximity to Durham, NC which has the same exact problems. De facto segregation runs rampant: rich suburbs, absolute poverty in the inner city. Two of the five city high schools are being closed (average sat score of a 780). The affluent in the neighboring suburbs are too self-absorbed in counterculture to care about reintegration.</p>
<p>Nope, I am class of 2007. </p>
<p>If I had already graduated without going to college I would be Wwoofing with a now ex-girlfriend in Costa Rica.</p>
<p>So everyone goes WWOOFing it seems :) Quebec sounds better.</p>
<p>Deleted post? I thought I was going insane for a moment there.</p>
<p>How's Quebec's quest for independence going? I haven't been paying attention.</p>
<p>Recently, it was recognized as an independent nation within Canada, but I doubt that it will ever be completely sovereign. Do you ever read Gaddis?</p>
<p>No. If I wasn't so often waylaid by inane schoolwork I probably would. I am quite ashamed of my 70 item long book list for Deep Springs :( Even as we speak, rotational EMF is keeping me from finishing Against the Day.</p>
<p>Dear god, I havent even heard of these books you mention.
Maybe the forthcoming rejection is for the best...</p>
<p>And I mentioned only about 20 books on my reading list... Not that there were too many more anyway</p>
<p>Haha Yuri I'm in the same boat... I only had 15 books on my personal reading list, and another 15 on my in-school! Fumble...</p>
<p>I had about 90, but a bulk of them were plays. I'm an awfully slow reader since I always feel compelled to meander off into the wilderness and brood, and I end up having to forego trivial schoolwork in order to verse myself. Don't feel bad MonsieurSatran. At least you read Anna (I love that portmanteau of Nabakov's on Constance Garnett's translation of Tolstoi--referred to it as Tolstoievski. It's also very fun to see such a ridiculous error as referring to Mr. Karenin as Karenina) although I'm personally more fond of Tolstoi when he's in his really radical asceticism phase <em>cough</em> Master and Man.</p>
<p>ReJoyce, I havent heard of a single one of the names you have mentioned. =0</p>
