The latter book is something of an unofficial commentary to Tom Stoppard's <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Coast-Utopia-Voyage-Shipwreck-Salvage/dp/0802143407/" REL="nofollow">Coast of Utopia</A> trilogy.<BR/><BR/>I hope that sometime you will write about the experience of having Rav Soloveitchik as your teacher. I never met him, but of course I have read his writings, which I think must be quite different than seeing his teachings in person.<BR/><BR/>You probably already know this, but there are a number of Soloveitchik shiurim <A HREF="http://www.ericlevy.com/Recordings/Recordings_The%20Rav.htm" REL="nofollow">here</A>. I haven't listened to them all, but this <A HREF="http://www.ericlevy.com/Recordings/Rav/R.mp3" REL="nofollow">one</A> seemed especially good.Iyovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900943829679088001noreply@blogger.com
