Whatcha readin?

[Micah_Bedwell_at_PHPOST at mail.nextel.com]

     I am currently engaged in reading "Can You Hear, Bird?" by John 
     Ashbery.I can't say how much I am enjoying reading this. Can anybody 
     tell me?

Now that I'm back to the college grind, my extracurricular reading will be 
severely curtailed.  However, I'm re-reading _Vineland_, Fear and Loathing 
on the Campaign Trail_, and Eagleton's _The Illusions of Postmodernism_ 
(actually, all of this is for an independent study I'm doing).  Any other 
pomo suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
     
Music-wise, I, too, have been listening to early Steely Dan, The Best of 
Missing Persons, Talking Heads, and lots of Was (Not Was).
