my second armload of books
i just went downstairs to get the rest of my library books from the car.
this bunch includes:
set this house in order by matt ruff
(fiction about people with multiple personalities)
american gods-neil gaiman
simpsons comics a go-go-matt groenig
intuition by buckminster fuller
(a long poem that's hard to understand,but like the man himself,it fascinates me even if i only understand a teeny tiny bit of it. he left us with an important alternative vision...even though he was terribly nearsighted.)
beyond therapy,beyond science-anne wilson schaef (about 'living in process')
the way we talk now:commentaries on language and culture by geoffrey nunberg
villa incognito by tom robbins
(i'm looking for some brilliant quotes in here...not necessarily for the story,though i did like still life with woodpecker and skinny legs and all.)
the new indians:a first full-scale report of the gathering 'red power' movement...a revolt against the white man's culture and debasement of the tribal way by stan steiner
(published in 1968)
the art of travel by alain de botton
(inspired by a review i read recently. it sounds like it's a philosophical look at travel. i liked his book 'how proust can change your life'.)
and now,i'm going to go watch the beginning of 'harvey' before i go to bed. i need to return it on wednesday,so maybe i will watch the rest of it tomorrow night. i've seen it before,but i want to enjoy it again. i love the fact that this movie is actually 'in' one of my other favorite movies, 'field of dreams'.
excuse me,time to get pixilated. vicariously,of course.

occasionally i'll write down a quote or bit of info i want to remember,but i don't take notes in general as an overview of what i read. i think i would find it overwhelming if i did!
