Fourth Book: Fifth Business

That title is so neat that I must almost surrender my regret at not having read more this month. And I think this is a fitting book to end the month on, too. Fifth Business by Robertson Davies. Absolutely my favorite book of the year so far. It's so good. I can't believe it ended where it did. Katie, please give me more right away.

It came to me in a rather circuitous fashion, as Katie registered it on book crossing, and also said there that she was passing it on to me by way of Rachel. However, Rachel forgot about it, and I did not know that she had done so until I read it in her book crossing information. I was immediately excited. While I don't remember many of the details of the Cornish trilogy of Davies' which Katie and I read freshman year as part of the Arthur class, I do remember the overall feeling of the books, and my sense every time I come across that big volume I have of all three that it is something wonderful. I also remember some weird erotic scene involving jam. I'm sure there's more I have tucked away in my brain related to those books than that, but it sort of jumped out at me just now. Oh, anyway, I was rooting around on Rachel's floor looking for the plug to this very computer, in fact, and in the course of finding it I located the elusive Fifth Business.

Hooray! It is so, so good! Very intelligent without being inaccessible, and very eventful and colorful without being unpleasantly lurid. Robertson Davies is just... great. One of those writers whose so consistently and truly excellent that I just am full of delight and sort of awed hope that someday I could write that way, perhaps... I don't know, but it's a hope.

The characters are so consistently detailed and interesting and great. Dunstable/Dunstan was a very engaging narrator, and all the supporting characters were fascinating and I just loved the cosmology he was building... this sort of practical, psychological mysticism... well, it was fascinating, as I said. And the plot was supremely engaging and great and made me gasp and laugh and occasionally speak aloud to the book. It was so exciting and..surprising, every time I thought I knew where it was going it went somewhere else entirely, without seeming at all ridiculous. I was especially interested in the idea of rebirth, and the whole fifth business idea, and the way in which his ideas and worldview grew and changed over time. I think in his very narration Dunstable illustrates the points he makes about how we do and don't change from childhood to adulthood and so on. I think I will need to read it again sometime, actually, because there are ideas and plot points I would like to revisit at another time.

But now the president is about to give his state of the union, so perhaps I should cut this short. There are some quotes I want to put in, and other things to discuss, but I'll either make another post or add to this one later.

Julia Has Decided Unwittingly to be my Procrastination Enabler

All right, folks, this one's for me, since the questions look different than others I've done. We'll see if that holds.

1. Where were you when the ball dropped for 2006?

Beauty Bar! NYC... Me too, so I'll stick with Julia's answer. See relevant journal entry for details.

2. How did you get the idea for your livejournal name?

Well, Becky just came to me in a flash of wild inspiration, but if we're talking about the "transubstantiatedchicken" part, see my second post ever (I think). Just a bit of clever and tongue in cheek, yet based-on-a-true-story piety.

3. What time were you born?

I think it was around 6 AM, but I never remember.

4. What song are you playing now, or wish you were playing?

For some reason, exactly as I looked at this question, Age of Aquarius popped into my head. Who am I to argue with fate? Except I would.

5. Has the death of a celebrity ever made you cry?

I don't know. I guess that's a no? But I feel like there were some that affected me rather strongly.

6. What color underwear are you wearing?

Julia said: "but about 2 hours ago i had purple cheetah spots ;-)" I find this interesting, because I have purple cheetah spots right now.

7. Do you want a baby?

I... think so. But I'm never sure. Though yesterday at the Y there was this cute child and I was like, wow, that would be great, to have a kid. And then today I was fantasizing about being a foster mom, but that was more a response to hearing about some horrible things in the system of foster care and feeling helpless. Though it has crossed my mind before.

8. What did you do this morning?

Got up way too early-- in the sense of not wanting to do it, not in the sense of having tons of time to get ready, and came to work, where I do... work, and also things like this.

9. What does your dad do for a living?

He's a nurse's aide in a nursing home.

10. What ended your last relationship(s)?

I've never had a "relationship" the way this question is asking... I'll second Julia's answer, although Mark definitely is tenaciously pursuing a relationship, and I'm not sure what to do about that. Other than that, I've had a few fairly intense crushes, some ending with a whimper and some with a bang. Sort of.

11. Do you have a date for Valentines?

Katie said she'd be my date, though I don't know what we're doing, and it's probably in the middle of the week.

12. What are the last 2 digits of your phone number?

45

13. What was the last concert you attended?

Was it Gogol Bordello? I guess so!

14. Who was with you? at the sweet concert?

Charlotte and Maddie and Rachel and Alex... that was it, right?

15. What was the last movie you watched?

A snippet of The Silver Chair.

16. Who do you dislike at the moment?

No one that I know personally in any kind of intense way. I'm on an even keel right now. Or maybe I just can't think of them at this current time.

17. What food do you crave right now?

I sort of really want a hot dog for lunch, even though I'm trying not to eat the cheap unhealthy stuff anymore.

18. Did you dream last night?

I think so, but I don't recall specifics.

19. What was the last TV show you watched?

Lost, I think.

20. What is your favorite piece of jewelry?

Probably my Bryn Mawr ring. I'm also very enamored of my two new necklaces.

21. What was the last thing you ate?

A cookie that said what girl scouting is all about.

22. Who is your best friend of the opposite sex?

Probably Nathaniel. :) I've been out of touch with the opposite sex for awhile, but he's still a wonderful friend.

23. Write a song lyric that's in your head?

"He takes off her dress now... I just can't look, it's killing me..." It played on my clock radio this morning and it sort of keeps cycling through my head at random intervals.

24. Are you on any meds?

Yes, good old prevacid.

25. What side of the bed do you sleep on?

I often start off on one side and end up on the other. But I guess the far side gets more use, over all.

26. What shirt are you wearing?

Good old zoo shirt and good less old stripey sweater. I just realized that the zoo shirt is what I wore when I took the plane to Spain junior year, and the stripey sweater was a staple of my wardrobe there, by which I mean I wore it several times a week.

27. What is your favorite frozen treat?

ICE CREAM! Preferably Breyer's mint chocolate chip, but almost any ice cream is wonderful and desired.

28. How many tattoos/piercings do you have?

Standard ear piercings, just once.

29. What's your favorite store?

This I have answered 25,000 times.

30. Are you thirsty right now?

A bit, but not as much as I have been lately.

31. Can you imagine yourself ever getting married?

Sometimes, it seems like a great idea. Sometimes not. So I guess we'll see.


32. Who's someone you haven't seen in a while and miss?

Dannah. Roz. Bekah. Liz. Gee, there are lots, really.

33. What did you do last night?

Watched a bit of The Silver Chair, talked to Bekah and Lilah on the phone, and Julia and Maddie online, and did not really do my financial stuff at all...

34. Do you care what people think about you?

Certainly.

35. Have you ever done something to instigate trouble?

Trouble like mischief? Yes.

36. What song(s) do you think ex's listen to and think of you?

Do you know, I don't really know in general what songs make people think of me.

37. What song(s) do you listen to and think of ex's?

If you mean the person(s) with whom I had the displeasure of a breakup without the pleasure of dating... well, you know, it's sort of unclear, actually. Now that I set up that whole interesting linguistic thing... I'll have to think about it.

38. What is one thing you wish you were better at?

Only one? Perhaps taking romantic risks (even in terms of approaching strangers) when I really want to.

39. What hurts you?

Knives.

40. Do you like the person who posted this last?

Not really, I'm just using her for sex. Hmmm. Perhaps I'd better think about this deal, in fact, because it seems to me I'm not getting my fair share of the bargain. ;) Oh, ok, yes, you caught me, I like her!

Book Fun from Julia

Here are the current top 50 books from www.whatshouldireadnext.com. Bold the books you have read. Italicise the books you might read. Cross out the books you probably won't read. Pass it on.


The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown - I have a strange relationship with this book. I want to read it to see what all the fuss is about, but I'm mad at all the people who are embroiled in discussions of its controversy, as though it is advancing historical facts instead of telling an adventure story based in historical speculation. It's a NOVEL, people. It's not MEANT to be some advancement of a theory of fact. Jesus Christ and His fucking wife, let it alone already. ;)
The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger
The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy - Douglas Adams
The Great Gatsby - F.Scott Fitzgerald
To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger
His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Harry Potter 6) - J.K. Rowling
Life of Pi - Yann Martel - Liz and Bekah told me I should, so I think I should.
Animal Farm: A Fairy Story - George Orwell
Catch-22 - Joseph Heller
The Hobbit - J. R. R. Tolkien - I tried reading this when I was young, and I did not really get into it. But I suppose at some point I should. I'll discuss this more later.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - Mark Haddon
Lord of the Flies - William Golding - A lot of these are books I feel like I "should" read, but I don't know if I actually will. However, I would feel unintellectual or something not to italicize them.
Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
1984 - George Orwell - Sometimes I get these dystopia books mixed up... but no, I remember this one. Big Brother. And some weird furniture.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Book 3) - J.K. Rowling
One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez - Yeah, I know, the modern classic of Spanish literature that I haven't read, in Spanish or English. Kind of like the ancient classic of Spanish literature that I haven't read all of in English or at all in Spanish. I guess I should get on that sometime.
Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden
The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini - I've heard a lot about this lately, but somehow it never includes what it's about.
The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold - I started listening to this one as an audio book when Rachel sent me the CDs, but something went wrong with them and I never finished. I should just borrow it from Rachel.
Slaughterhouse 5 - Kurt Vonnegut - Aside from a short story I don't recall, I have read no Vonnegut at all.
Angels and Demons - Dan Brown - Another one I should read to sort of catch up with popular culture, or something, but will I?
Fight Club - Chuck Palahniuk - Ok, I don't really know if I'll read this one, but I'd be interested to see how it's presented.
Neuromancer - William Gibson - I was going to leave this one off because I haven't heard of it, but then I realized William Gibson is the playwright of Golda's Balcony, our next show. All roads lead to the Merriam.
Cryptonomicon - Neal Stephenson - I think I took a book by him out of the freebox and never read it, so I'll leave this one out.
The Secret History - Donna Tartt - Don't know what this is.
A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess - Would I be interested in this or would it frustrate me? Only one way to find out.
Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte - I had such a strange relationship with this book. I read it about three times over, never actually deciding if I liked it or not, but always sort of mysteriously called back to it.
Brave New World - Aldous Huxley - I remember some of the images really clearly.
American Gods - Neil Gaiman - Read once, thought, eh, it was pretty good. Read again in Spain and fell in love. Sometimes it's all in the timing.
Ender's Game (The Ender Saga) - Orson Scott Card - Many have recommended this one; Morgan, I think, most vehemently.
Snow Crash - Neal Stephenson - Here he is again.
A Prayer for Owen Meany - John Irving - One of the few books I would call practically perfect. The kind I feel in my chest when I think about, like somebody I love.
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - C.S. Lewis - Oh, only about 400 times. As any dedicated reader knows, this one shaped my whole cosmological outlook and vocabulary and, well, everything.
Middlesex - Jeffrey Eugenides - This one I have an active desire to read.
Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell - ?
The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien- I always had a strange relationship with these, since everyone assumed that as an avid reader who liked fantasy, I must have read them, and was shocked when I hadn't. I still haven't, but since I've seen all the movies and, now, bought a $5 book with the whole trilogy in it, I guess one of these days I actually will.
Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte - Reacted with more unambiguous pleasure than to her sister's book... even thinking about it now I get a very pleasant feeling, and a memory of excellent writing. But I don't think I've read it so many times as Wuthering Heights, nor that the characters are so present to me, for all that.
Good Omens - Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman - :)
Atonement - Ian McEwan - ?
The Shadow Of The Wind - Carlos Ruiz Zafon - ?
The Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway - People often have such virulent reactions to this book. I wonder if I'll like it.
The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood - One of those famous authors I'm uncertain whether I want to dive into, but always feel that someday I should.
The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath - Maybe.
Dune - Frank Herbert - Maybe? Apparently I have trouble saying I won't read things I know about, but this one... I've heard it's so odd.
