Brett learning computer skills from a library book

Friday Five on February 28

28 Feb 2003

1. What is your favorite type of literature to read (magazine, newspaper, novels, nonfiction, poetry, etc.)?
I almost always read nonfiction, like computer books or self-help books.

2. What is your favorite novel?
Siddhartha is both on my bookshelf and on my PocketPC (in ebook form)

3. Do you have a favorite poem? (Share it!)
It's the French one I learned in high school for a language recital. See below.

4. What is one thing you've always wanted to read, or wish you had more time to read?
I've always thought that I could triple or quadruple my income if I read as many computer books as my friend Robert. But I don't make enough time to keep up with that goal, so I am stuck at my current income.

5. What are you currently reading?
Live From New York, which is a book that Danielle bought me for Christmas when she saw it on my wish list


A Cassandre

Mignonne, allons voir si la rose
Qui ce matin avoit desclose
Sa robe de pourpre au Soleil,
A point perdu ceste vesprée
Les plis de sa robe pourprée,
Et son teint au vostre pareil.

Las ! voyez comme en peu d'espace,
Mignonne, elle a dessus la place
Las ! las ses beautez laissé cheoir !
Ô vrayment marastre Nature,
Puis qu'une telle fleur ne dure
Que du matin jusques au soir !

Donc, si vous me croyez, mignonne,
Tandis que vostre âge fleuronne
En sa plus verte nouveauté,
Cueillez, cueillez vostre jeunesse :
Comme à ceste fleur la vieillesse
Fera ternir vostre beauté.
