Now, I'm obviously not 21, but I'm close enough that I will be severely pissed if I am excluded from this show. My question to you, Chicagoans, if you've been to this place before... how serious are the Metro people about this age thing? DoI have any chance at all of making my way in? >Christie >====== Christie, While I haven't been to the Metro in a few years, I do know that they used to be *very* strict on the age thing. There was even a time after they got in trouble for serving minors that they rivaled the Trocadero in forcing people out rudely after the show. At two o'clock, you were literally herded out the door and out into the street. The best (and worst!) example of this was the night that I went to see Boingo and Danny Elfman was so upset that they couldn't keep playing, that the band just kept right on singing as the people were pushed out into the night. No one technically ever heard the end of the concert. :-( Lori Young http://brave.com/bo/ Lori@brave.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Aug 1999 03:11:49 GMT From: "A FruSmurf" Subject: Re: book recomendations How's Werther in translation? They had to force-feed it to me in Germany during their equivalent of English class and it nearly put me to sleep! As to my personal faves,that one was too good to resist! I'll confine myself to the top three per category On the classic literature front they would be * anything by Jane Austen (if you can overcome the fact that there have been way too many movies done recently, albeit, some of them not too badly done) * Inferno/Purgatorio/Paradiso (=Divine Comedy), by Dante Alighieri * The unabridged "Les Miserables" by Victor Hugo (I have to admit that the Battle of Waterloo bit dragged on a bit, but the multitude of sub-plots is positively brilliant!) Children's lit: * Anne of Green Gables series (1-8)- L.M. Montgomery * The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett * Chronicles of Narnia - C.S. Lewis (These are quite interesting, if re-read as an adult (or close to it), there's a whole different level of understanding there. It ceases to be "just" a children's series) Fantasy * The Belgariad and the Malloreon - David Eddings (funny funny series, but it does become a tad predictable) * the Darkspell series - Katherine Kerr (a bit confusing at first but very well written) * Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar series. She writes other stuff separate from the Valdemar stuff, but it's not as good, I find. Contemporary/historical fiction * Pretty much anything by Maeve Binchy * the Lymond series by Dorothy Dunnett (I absolutely LOVE this series) * Barometer Rising by Hugh MacLennan (I had to read this for my Canadian fiction class back in college and I very much enjoyed it) That's it from a bona-fide bookworm - ENJOY!
