raiding book collections

at my friend tom's house for christmas -- and his book collection is a godsend. it's been a while since i've been surrounded by so many books in english.

he is completely anal about his collection but for good reason. it's quite intense. so i have to finish these books before i leave on the 29th.

currently on my to read list from his collection:

the paper house - dominguez
our ancestors - calvino
of mice and men - steinbeck
satori in paris - kerouac
long good bye - chandler
after many a summer - aldous huxley
a farewell to arms - ernest hemingway
tender is the night - fitzgerald
pantagruel - rabelais
down and out in paris and london - george orwell
the illustrated man - ray bradbury

more to be added i'm sure. i can't get through all of them, but i can try.

tomorrow is christmas eve - and we've decided it's reading and wrapping day.
and both of us are completely excited for it.
perfect friendship right here.
