Summer's Over

It's been a while, but I have been reading some.

The Portable Chekhov edited by Avrahm Yarmolinsky
Poems by Boris Pasternak
The Cornel West Reader by Cornel West
Kiss or Kill - Confessions of a Serial Climber by Mark Twight

I started reading Chekhov after reading Cornel West. This was one of those occasions where following the stream was a good idea.

I recommend to anyone who's never read Pasternak to start reading Pasternak, especially Dr. Zhavigo. His collection of poems were insightful.

I have to be honest, I didn't read all of the Cornel West's reader. I got through the interesting stuff. It gave me a better insight on my brother's work.

Kiss or Kill. I checked this out after reading about Twight in Men's Health (he was the guy who trained the cast of 300) and the Gym Jones website. If you're looking for something different, read this book.
