World Without End by Ken Follett
The sequel to Pillars of the Earth. I don't much care for any other work by Follett, but Pillars is one of my all time favorites. |

The biggest one is downtown. It's on the corner, next to the Lee Soon-Shin statue that is in the middle of the street. Get off the subway at Gwanghwamoon. |

Beautiful Losers by Leonard Cohen
Just started this morning and the first paragraph is a smacker: it either wakes you up and gets you going for more or else it insults you and ends the foray.
An hour later I had to stop because I'm on a shopping trip in Seoul and I haven't time to finish it now.
Kyobo, here I come. |

Yep. That's the one. There's a small pagoda thing on the corner.
Kyobo's on the corner on Jongro Street, in the basement. The main entrance is on the right side of the building if you are on Jongro Street. |

| I just finished re-reading Sherman Alexie's first collection of short stories, "The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven". His later stories are more mature, but this collection is funny, sad, moving and a good demonstration why he is in the front rank of American writers today, and probably the most respected of American Indian writers. |

| Just started Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman, a short story collection by Haruki Murakami. Haven't read any short stories in a long time, and I forgot - when they are good, sometimes they are hard. |

Crusader Nation: The US in Peace and the Great War, 1898-1920 by David Traxel
The back cover says it's about the Progressive Era, but it is really a social history of the US around World War I. There were only 3 chapters about the Progressives.
Still, it's pretty good. I know far more about John Reed boinking Mabel Dodge than I ever did before. Yes, you know who Mabel was. Just think about The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas. You'll remember. |
