Hi Rich,

I notice you have a copy of The Big Silver Book of Russian Verbs, which I also have.

Are you still studying Russian? If so, you might find Practical Russian Reader helpful. It is a new book of Russian short stories with helpful exercises.

Let me know what you think of it?

"I take it you are interested in his work as well?"

With my current listing of 155 books, brochures, and items devoted to Wright, yes, I would say that I find his work to be of great interest. And yet I find that you have many books not yet in my collection.

I became conscious of art, architecture and sculpture at age 12, while in the sixth grade, after we began studying Classical Greece in our World History texts. Within a year I somehow become aware of Wright's work, too, which demonstrated to a boy starved for beauty on the prairies of the Upper Midwest that we could have beautiful buildings on our own terms. The discovery altered the entire course of my life. Later, I had the privilege of living intimately in and with two of Wright's houses.

Wright's work is almost a religious quest for form and meaning. So, yes, I'm curious about the effect of Wright's work and philosophy on other people. In many ways we constitute a special breed.

I see that you have many books featuring Frank Lloyd Wright, too. What forms the basis for your particular interest? Rood
