Thinking end of year stuff and best seen scenes in 2015, as in for the first time not necessarily released..

Beads!

Sad sack loses jail bait // Sad sack makes it work..

Just found Adler myself and Pitch dark is waiting patiently for a hammock reading Xmas camping trip. This novel IIRC was the #1 voted out of print re-release demand from the NYRB readership, and can be had for postage on used book websites. Looking forward to its take..

Read it as it came of the internet in parts, and engaging with the author on FB as the world came calling; was like watching a rookie batter step up to the plate in a big game. Think that he nailed this story but not sure whether The Martian has stolen the thunder for a movie version..

Does this help:

The City and yƚiƆ ɘʜT is how we live, walking down the street everyday blanking out everything that we cannot put a concept to and have not had put forward for acknowledgement in our education.. a major philosophical and political novel.

Sat in my library are around a dozen of his works in Russian, the Other being so, and the sad fact permeates that I am never gonna be able to read these as written..

Yup, the extension of the area of the struggle, correct..

The problem is not with PoMo, but with its birth in the middle of one of the bigger fights around, establishment communities vs the rights of the individuals, so all those non-inner value non-heirarchical pronouncements have had no time whatsoever to mature and have had to fight almost stillborn against capitalism…

Written 20 years ago and probably on the ball then as this PoMo vacuum was being mapped, but, of course an outshining IJ on a similar theme is on the ball for today, tomorrow, and on.. Try Falling Man for an alternate recommendation, plus that first part of Underworld can be read on its own as a novella as a treat..

Thought it was a great attempt at maturing the subject let down massively by the generic ordinariness of the Fillory sections.. Of all the places that we could go, just a lack of imaginative gall!

Double recommendation for the Aeropress, kinda fool proof top class brew, the reason it works is that you are using compressed air to pressure brew the grounds in around 30 secs instead of letting the grounds burn in water for 3 or 4 minutes. Use with a Porlex hand grinder for that extra freshness, had one for around…

Put some ground coffee in a jar and top up with water and put it in the fridge and plug the fridge in and leave it overnight and drink in the morning through gritted teeth..

Cloud Atlas:

Not quite the same thing but if I ever get back to my 1990 attic in the UK I will not destroy the tv taped VHS' of American Graffiti, American Werewolf in London, Blues Brothers and A Touch of Class. Missing that last one right now, do you love her enough to leave her..
