Thanks. Ironically (?), I used to get more of such shenanigans done @ work
(esp. 2nd/3rd shift) than I have in the past 4 1/2 years of unemployment.
Here's @ least one additional addition since, off the  top of my
overprescriptioned head:

Lippit, Akira Mizuta. Atomic Light (Shadow Optics).
  Mpls: U of Minnesota P, 2005.

http://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/atomic-light-shadow-optics

... and here's something that just happens to be in my bedside stack:

Schwenger, Peter. Fantasm and Fiction: On Textual Envisioning.
  Stanford, CA: Stanford UP, 1999.

http://www.sup.org/book.cgi?id=895

... underneath a buncha 60s/70s Marvel/DC/Charlton/et al. comics from the
dollar bin down the  street, of course.

It's good to know somebody gets some use outta some of this stuff, @ least
(see, e.g., p. 95 of Martin Eve's Pynchon and Philosophy).

Always glad to see the list still going. It's been nigh unto two decades
for me here now, so ...
