Subject: Another book

Actually I am raeding about 5 books right now.. well okay not THIS very minute!
TCHAIKOVSKY by Anthony Holden-- what a sad man and I don't necessarily mean the composer. I think Holden is a closet homophobe. He can't seem to refer to Tchaikovsky's homosexuality as anything but tragic. And in a way it was..
it was thing Tchiakovsky feared the most in himself. Holden also just can't seem to think that the composer may have died of cholera picked up from a street prostitute or that he may have committed suicide, despite spending 350 pages documenting Tchaikovsky's eccentric moods and wildly abberant behavior during times of stress. And Tchaikovsky did try to commit suicide in 1877 after he realized that getting married was a REALLY bad idea.
WALT WHITMAN: A GAY LIFE by Gary Schmidgall-- just starting this one....
PETER THE GREAT by Robert Massie-- almost a biography of Russia itself
AABIGAIL ADAMS by Natalie Bober-- I am tired of listening to Ms Bober apologize for a strong, opinionated woman.
SMALL GODS by Terry Pratchett-- best commentator on pop culture you'll ever find....
