I would absolutely love to see the play, but oddly enough, I don't think it's playing anwhere in America right now... just overseas. I am in the process of watching the HBO production of it, which is great, but I can only imagine how much better it would be to watch the play performed live..

Finished with Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour. Introduction by JD Salinger, I'm re-reading Roddy Doyle's Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, this time in English.
I have found new momentum on the reading of Tibor Fischer's The Thought Gang, think I'll be able to finish it soon[/i]

Just finished "Problemski Hotel" by Dimitri Verhulst. One of my favorite writers at the moment. I don't know if his work gets translated though, but it should be. This guy is hilarious!

Now: "De aanslag" ("The Assault") by Harry Mulish.

Finished The thought gang by Tibor Fischer! Brilliant ending!

Now I've just started a book by Tim Bradford, that you folks should know for he wrote Is Shane MacGowan still alive? (which is a fantastic book). The book I'm now reading, by Bradford, is The Groundwater Diaries

Anybody read Neil Gaiman's Endless Nights? I found it enthralling. Graphic novels can be so cool.
