summer reading
I've been reading a ton this summer, but aside from The Medusa Frequency I haven't actually finished a single book. Instead I've been reading around in a set of loosely-related texts, including Grant Morrison comics (Seaguy and The Filth), as well as his Pop Magic! essay; Robert Graves' Greek Myths omnibus; Rudy Rucker's Seek!: Selected Nonfiction; Octavio Paz's treatise on love, sex, and eroticism, The Double Flame; The Shifting Realities of Philip K. Dick: Selected Literary and Philosophical Writings; Guy Davenport's The Geography of the Imagination; and Joyce's Finnegans Wake.
Mining the system of relations between these texts has been fascinating: in my head their system of correspondences and echoes are beginning to form an intricate hypertextual ideogram.
Where can I get a replica of Thomas Jefferson's revolving five-book easel? Labels: book_commentary |
