Good taste. Read 'em all, I'm old enough to have had time to do so. On Pychon, what about Vineland?
I have been reading Italo Calvino’s “book” titled Invisible Cities. I hesitate to call it a book though, its more of a long poetic conversation between two people. Each city description offers some type of philosophy or insight to life, humanity or even to the nature of words themselves.
It took a second to get use to the form, and get an idea for what he was going for, but this book is highly enjoyable if you read it maybe 2-3 pages a day. One or two city descriptions to start you off in the morning and plant an intelectual conversation in your head about life. then do the same the next day, almost like a diary but in reverse.
anyone else read this or any other of Calvino's works. Just wondering about others thoughts.
the dude oozes aesthetics and meaning in every sentence.

Anna Karenin - Tolstoy
Hemmingway [sic] is a freaken genius.
Speaking of Haiku, does anyone have the Jack kerouac American Haiku spoken word album? The one with jazz music playing in the background, punctuating his words?
