or Re: Stoner Movies? 

I had forgotten how trippy University Film Programs can be...

 a new print of Women in the Dunes, would qualify--tho' if I recall 
correctly, that one bent my mind without the help of chemicals...

Guadi's Sagrida Familia is truly fantastic

Other list business

V.
GR
VL/MD
CoL49
SL--I like the Introduction best and Under the Rose

I read V. first, so that may influence the order, I am a west coaster 
and a child of the 60's so Vineland sounds good to my ear, I remember 
how excited I was to read it, just because I felt "in" --I didnt' have 
to work as hard to get it


Reading:  __Cloud Atlas__,  David Mitchell (thx to whomever on the list 
recommended...) David Mitchells writing grabbed me immediately in a way 
I hadn't been engaged in narrative for ages...I haven't finished it 
because I don't want to.
I did finish Black Swan Green, which I enjoyed, but not with the same 
glee as Cloud Atlas, and since I rarely read "coming of age" stories 
finding adolescence or the edges of adolescence about as interesting a 
brushing teeth...

Also reading  "__A Problem From Hell" America in the Age of Genocide__,  
Samantha Power and__ Shake Hands with the Devil__, , Lt Gen Romeo Dallaire

and a pretty little book about Afghanistan by one of  Brue Chatwin's 
traveling companions __The Light Garden of the Angel King__ by Peter 
Levi    (Title from an inscription on a 16th century Afghan king's tomb 
"This highway of archangels, this theatre of heaven, the light garden of 
the godforgiven angel king...)
