On the Shelf
Lists, lists, lists! All you do is list!
You must remember this, a list is just a list...
Dug out of the snow. Streets of Detroit are clear for now (or...streets north of Detroit are clear for now). Reading or about to read:
Architecture as Metaphor: Language, Number, Money - Kojiin Karatani. Might be useful for piece on space, Maccabees, and rhetoric I am working on...so far what I've read deals with thinking about deconstrction as a constructive practice - a practice of making.
Electronic Monuments - new Ulmer book which just arrived. Some of this looks familiar from previously published essays. But also space-relevant. Looking foward to the latest from my diss director.
Shaping Things - Bruce Sterling. Also just arrived. Not much of a sci-fi fan, I do find Sterling's insights into digital culture interesting. This manifesto (like the other short MIT books) for the future of design looks nice.
You Can't Win - Jack Black (not the actor Jack Black). Early 20th century hobo/vagrant/outlaw/drug using lifestyle fiction. Supposedly William Burroughs' favorite book (and sampled often from). So far so good. My kind of American lit.
