I'm reading a whole mess of things for college, but I'm thinking about reading Gravity's Rainbow again.
Is anyone else here into Pynchon? I'm wondering if I should read Mason and Dixon or Against the Day first, but it'll be a while since school doesn't leave me much time to read for fun. |

Ham on Rye by Bukowski.
Very good, although rather depressing.

Almost painfully, but with much anticipation still, Hegel's Phenomenology of the Spirit.
Just a sort of prelude to my rereading it and maybe understanding it. |

Having read, I think, all of his books available in English, I'd say this was his best. He's an awesome writer, I always entirely forget how brilliant he is. If you've not read Bataille yet I can't recommend him highly enough. In a similar vein, but darker. Quote:
I admire you for trying. I can't think of anyone I've met that happily says they've got that book... bearing in mind that, unlike a lot of people, I know about 30-odd who've tried. It's a fucking monster of pain. Which reminds me, must batter my head against it again at some point in the future. I'm dipping in and out of Kant's 3rd Critique and Deleuze's 1000 plateaus with a side-order of re-reading Homer for my lunch breaks.

You know, I've been reading some music theory of antiquity lately. I can't recommend this more--it's fucking enlightening and downright hilarious.
For example: Cleonides, Aristides Quintilianus, Boethius, Hucbald, Guido of Arezzo, etc. |

I just started Odds Are Murder by the late Mike McQuay. It's part of his Mathew Swain, 21st Century Private Detective series that put Raymond Chandleresqe formulas into a science fiction setting. Almost parody in it's cliches, but always fun. And no, his 21st Century isn't this one, but it's not too different from what Ridley Scott made famous in Blade Runner.
