A Lil' Help

Okay, audience participation is required for this post.  I would really like to know what you would like to read about.  I've moved to Beirut, and I spend most of my days being thoroughly overstimulated by sights, sounds, and smells.  Most of the time I have no idea how to filter them down to something interesting.

I would love feedback about what you would like to hear about while I'm here, Lebanon-related or no.  Feel free to leave your ideas in the comments section, and I'll use them as fodder to help get the supply, my crazy life here in Beirut, to the demand, all of you eager, sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-seat, readers ;o).

Also, I will shamelessly self-promote this post until I get some feedback.  Might as well go ahead and leave your thoughts now.  Resistance is futile.

Shukran!

Help Me Pick What to Read Next

So, I'm almost to the end of The God Conversation, and I have a couple of ideas for what I want to read next, but I could use some help deciding...

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to vote in the poll to the left.  As an added bonus, I promise to do a review of whatever you pick.  You have 1 week.

The options:




A Shakespeare Play I've Never Read Before:  "A Comedy of Errors"
Over the next couple of years I want to read all of Shakespeare's plays that I haven't gotten to yet, and this seems like a good place to start.  This farce covers the fallout of mistaken identities when 2 sets of identical twins are separated at birth (or at least that's what I'm told).



Nectar in a Sieve, by Kamala Markandaya
I read this book in college and really enjoyed it.  I've been thinking I would like to read it again, seeing as how it's becoming a fuzzy memory.  Roughly speaking, it's the story of an Indian woman and her family as they cope with the urbanization of their village.  After reading this the first time, I remember thinking that I understood hunger in a way I never had before.
