The Penguin Book of Rock and Roll Writing

Has a coupla good articles by Patti Smith from her Creem writing days, one of them on the Stones. Main reason I checked it out, for her writing. Some other interesting stuff throughout, including a thing by Lou Reed.

Ahh yes, classic. I myself am reading Burroughs', "My Education: A Book of Dreams". So far a great read.

Neat, that's what my brother's reading.

Although it gets on my nerves that "Also sprach Zarathustra" is translated into "Thus spake Zarathustra". "Sprach" in german is just the ordinary past tense. Translators should write their own book if they want to be creative.

An essay.
Descartes's Météores and the Rainbow Fountain
SIMON WERRETT

and various science books on how to generate artificial rainbows.

cool dialogues, that family is wonderful, the kids are amazing.
have a nice time reading it!

at the moment I'm reading great jones street, always by don delillo, but honestly is nothing special... also here first person narration, lot of contemplation on old-fashioned details, the story is not even that interesting... talks about a rockstar hiding from celebrity.
RUNNING DOG is another cool one by dondelillo, and so is MAOII. once he came in italy for a reading festival years ago and he is a really smart and polite person, he answered many stupid questions in a very intelligent way.

Finished Heidegger's lectures The Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics and Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. In keeping with the class material, I've began Gadamer's Truth and Method as well as Bruno Latour's The Pasteurization of France.
