read/listen

[Jesse Wick]

Reading: "Joseph and his Brothers" by Thomas Mann. (oof)
A short anthology of Greek lyric poems, for relief.
Just finished a re-read of John Kennedy Toole's "Confederacy of Dunces." 
Anyone who hasn't read this really, really should. It's a hoot. 
It was nice to see someone mention Bob Benchley, just when I thought he'd been 
forgotten forever. I like to read Benchley in the bathroom-- the articles are 
just about the right length. (sorry)

Listening: Bowie, because it's his birthday. And HEY -- I LIKE "Modern Love."
