Books Thomas Mann,  Der Tod in Venedig Boris Pasternak, trans. Max Hayward and Manya Harari,  Doctor Zhivago Richard H. Hoppin, Medieval Music Keeping up a steady reading regimen has become more difficult now that I'm not riding the bus to and from work everyday. But I'm almost  done with Doctor Zhivago . Hoppin's Medieval Music  is more for notes in case I ever decide to go back to graduate school. It's nice, though, to be able to spend time with books I should have read more closely for class.

The Met is broadcasting  so close to my house I could walk there! I've never lived in a city with a participating theater, so I'm tempted to indulge in as many productions as I can. It's definitely worth the $24. I'm especially excited about Eugene Onegin , Prince Igor , and Rusalka .
