Nerve on Long Island

what I did today

Attended the Pulitzer Prize luncheon (this year Letts/August and per
usual a lot of journalists.)

Performed in a short play I wrote satirizing my boss for his going away party.

I wore a bald cap.

I'm a little tipsy on cheap red wine.

Now I'm off to a rehearsal for a short film.

1001 novels to read before dying

How many of these have you read? I've read 55. I noticed that I often read the minor works by the same author but not the major work listed. I wonder why. I do that with plays too. I think it comes from buying used books. There should be a comparable list of plays. Anyone have time to make one? I have read many more of those. http://1morechapter.com/projects/1001-list/ h/t John August
