Light, by M John Harrison. Once again being disappointed by a book with good
blurb from an author I like (China Mieville).

Queen of the South, by Arturo Perez-Reverte. A guilty pleasure.

Kafka on the Shore, by Haruki Murakami. I want to like it, but I'm thinking
the translation/editing is not good. Not like Birnbaum or Rubin. Rats.

Talking Music, by William Duckworth. Conversations with five generations of
American Experimental Composers. The music is better, and this doesn't add
much. Kind of like if you like the writing, who cares what the author
thinks.

Loyola, Psychology of a Saint, by W.W. Meissner. Way too Freudian.

The Night Battles, Witchcraft & Agrarian Cults in 16th & 17th Centuries, by
Carlo Ginzberg. Way cool.

Stupidity, by Avital Ronell. The Telephone Book was great. So is this. Very
German. Heidigger, Kant, Marx, and Hegel.

Later
