Toronto's great city!
I've only been up there once or twice.
What club in Toronto did they play?

In a message dated 99-02-03 14:11:52 EST, you write:

<< Looks like Vivisect-six.............as in a vivisection and Roman numeral
six
 (VI)................vivisection being cutting open a live animal for
 pathological investigation,resulting in much pain for the
 animal...........hence,by common usage, any kind of detailed scrutiny that
 causes serious pain or discomfort to the one being investigated..........like
 this whole Clinton mess could be called a vivisection of his sex life. >>

Nix my explanation, i like this one better. Its more creative and probably
right.

Subject: Kafka some more

Most people insist that (and this is a little too obvious, but I'll say 
it anyway) Gregor's whole bug thing is a metaphor/outlet for Kafka's 
life and frustration.  So disconnected man?  Yes.  Bug?  Yes.  

I have the Stanley Corngold translation so I don't know if it is 
consistent with all other copies, and I don't remember where in the book 
it is said, but I do remember reading somewhere in there about Gregor 
being a "stag beetle".  And MY proof is that (I'm not a beetle 
specialist) I had never even heard of stag beetles.  Stag?  I didn't 
know about stag.  But now I know where I heard the name at least.  And 
the Samsa's maid calls Gregor a "dung beetle" a few times, and 
(yesterday) I researched some about dung beetles and a dung beetle is 
the more common name for stag beetle, and stag beetle is the more common 
name for ... something in latin.  I don't remember.  And I'm not 
arguing, I just want to make sure everyone is happy.  :)

Hey! Im 16.. thanks so much for the recommendations...What is Bone Collector
about? Ive heard tons of votes for Poppy Z. Brite, im so interested now! Do
you have a favourite for poppy z brite? Kat

[Dupin]  The bone collector is your basic mystery book.  The basic idea is a detective and a physically crippled ex-forensics criminologist have to catch him before he kills Rhyme(the crippled forensic person) I love it very very much.

My favorite book is probably Drawing Blood.  I also like her collection of short stories in the book Swap Foetus aka Wormwood...everything she writes is wonderful...if you like cannibalism and/or the love of the dead then I can suggest Exquisite Corpse....

Subject: Re: rose k

One of her daughters was "mentally deficient." Apparently, the excuse for
the lobotomy was that the daughter was capable of liking men, but not
capable of, ah, behaving properly. So, it was for her protection that rose
had her lobotomized. Which, of course, left her pretty much vegetabley. 
did that make sense? 
well, that's the story in a nutshell.
