ouch! you misunderstand the true concept of myth as a means of socio-political construction of the underlying supestructures we call society and community. myth is powerful, and truly history is a living myth, but then again I am a disciple of Joseph Campbell

David Foster Wallace is truly a brilliant author. He is perhaps totally uncontended for the title of "best 'contemporary' author" in my book. (enen thought he is dead). i remember discussing his work in an american literature class i took a few years ago in which my teacher tried to argue that he killed himself because he was ultimately aware of himself and the world. mindblowing.

I've been seriously close to begging one of my friends to read this book after he watched the Lynch movie and had just an average opinion of it. Unfortunately he's one of those "I don't really like to read" types. This book is incredible, no movie version has come close to it. Quote:
This book was probably the most pleasant surprise ever going into it. I was completely blown away. Probably the scariest last 17 or so pages ever. Been hammering through this: Fucking hilarious! These guys did so much ridiculous stuff. I had no idea about the scientology school and stuff. And I had no idea they were so into Bowie. Very cool stuff. Will probably be extremely depressing at the end.

Deleuze's 'what is philosophy?' Which I should've got around to earlier, because it's a nice companion to 1000 plateaus (more so than Anti-Oedipus, arguably). A recommendation for those who are a bit baffled by a lot of the 'modern' French philosophy.

mindfuck starting part two "ghosts" soon: "The second story, Ghosts, is about a private eye called Blue, trained by Brown, who is investigating a man named Black on Orange Street for a client named White. Blue writes written reports to White who in turn pays him for his work. Blue becomes frustrated and loses himself as he becomes immersed in the life of Black."

Hmm, perhap's Moore's 'problem' is that his larger than life persona has come to eclipse his actual comics and pushed him centre stage at the expense of comparable writers like the Hernandez Bros or Frank Miller, but they both cite Moore's achievements with 2000ad and DC as a major influence on their work. Overrated? Maybe, but it's hard to know what the correct level of appreciation someone should receive is when they're responsible for writing the likes of Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Swamp Thing and the D.R. & Quinch and Halo Jones stories. Other writers may have written better comics than each of those individually (although in the case of Halo Jones, i'm struggling to think of anyone) but as a body of work it's pretty impressive if you ask me. |

Read the beginning to Saul Bellow's *Dangling Man* but didn't finish before it was due back at the library. Instead of extending the checkout, I just bought *Herzog*.
Should be a nice companion for the 12 hour flight to SoKo. |
