Hopscotching is fun! And for whatever reason, I find this sentence perfect : "Maybe one had to fall into the depths of stupidity in order to make the key fit the lock to the latrine or to the Garden of Olives." That should be a saying!

"How lightly you carry the years, mon amie, yes, how very lightly. I think it is because no one has ruled you, not man or god. If only you were a libertine, what a perfect specimen of a woman you would be!"

"The Bible is a pile of dung... The one thoughtful moment is Eve's. Eve, the mother of Juliette. Eve, who never asks 'Why have you forsaken me?' but who walks out of Eden and climbs into bed. Eve, who in full knowledge, fucks and engenders a world."

"'When my pen starts thrashing, it's like fucking a whore in the den of a famished lion. The world is brimming with plaster replicas, and the point is to smash them to bits, to create an upheaval so acute it cannot be anticipated or resisted. I am after Vertigo,' Sade said. 'I am wanting a world in which the Forbidden Fruit is ascendant and rises just as the Old Laws fall-yes!'"

"Like a good fuck, a good cup of chocolate starts with a vigorous whipping..."

Apparently it's National Twilight Zone Day. Be careful if you take a nap, you might wake up and find that you are the same but everything else is suddenly different. Or vice versa. I would just avoid naps altogether today.

This Tubbs fellow is a bit Dickensian. And these two ethereal nymphets are a bit Nabokovian. But the overall effect is probably 100% Ducornetian. Meaning, splendid.

The sentence "Donald Trump receiving classified security briefings" makes me simultaneously lol and shit my pants in terror. Any Goodreaders in like Switzerland or Scandinavia have an extra room to rent? I cook pretty well and can talk books and music...

People at work discussing "5 Year Plans" - here's mine : 1) continue building my modular synth 2) eat a staggering diversity of tacos 3) completionize Vollmann 4) Women & Men, Zettel's Traum, Miss Mac, Hegel, etc. That's about it, boss man.

Posted 12 songs from the new record I'm working on on Soundcloud. Check 'em out. I know it's not books!

"To long to read." - Geoff Wilt [..seriously, I'm essentially no longer a reader these days - by force of circumstance etc. - it sucks for real - keep up the good reading folks - do it for those of us staring down the wordless Void, uncomprehending]

Happy Birthday Samuel Beckett.

Yep. 300 pages in a month. This is how my life is lately. Time-poor. Stupid. Anyhoo, this book is amazing and complex and beautiful u.s.w and if I'm a good boy maybe I'll finish it before summer sheesh

Past month = reading slump. I feel like an apostate. http://youtu.be/NECLTV7LcPY

My goodreads database search for "Neuro-totalitarianism in Technomaya Goog-colonization of the Experience and Neuro-plastic Alternative" suprisingly came up with zero results.

Book store -> farmers market -> beer & wine -> home to read, make music, cook : hell yeah Sunday in spring.

Dear Gaia Yahweh Earth Mother, I pray to you from the center of universal Ch'i, in full Ardha Padmasana Vrksasana aligned with my twinned birth constellations and parallel with the true ancient magnetic poles - please allow me time to read Thomas Mann this weekend. Also, give me a million dollars tax-free. Amen.

David Mitchell is a really talented writer. April fools.

Also, if you don't like a work of art, but there are these other people who do like it, those other people are in a "cult". There's really no other explanation! #goodreadsopinions

An aging noise punk's sad admission of inexcusable naïveté, in the form of an inquiry - Where do I start with Bach - Where do I start with Beethoven - Where do I go from there? Merci.

I thought the 20th anniversary edition of Infinite Jest was supposed have that cool ass lemniscate video tape design - what's this pixelated Lego shite?

Currently failing at reading this.

I think I still like Goodreads. But sometimes I log on in the morning and think to myself : "I don't really like this. All these opinions." To remedy this, I'm going to take the lead, and from here on out my reviews will be 100% opinion-free.

Whenever I see Jonfaith reading theory I want to drop everything and just read theory.

Seriously though, this is an absurdly rich book.

Haven't had much time to read lately. (See, 100 pages of this book in a week. Pretty shoddy.) Any case, thankful to have the time I do have to read. Thankful for books which help us make sense of things in beautiful ways. Thankful for music which is the soul of existence. Thankful for these things which are the sunlight of days. (It's always night, or we wouldn't need light.)

sorry, haven't been able to comment on much on GR today : saw Oneohtrix Point Never at the Ottobar in Bmore last night : brain still melted : reason still trying to comprehend what I saw ::

Music heads/heads up! Wadada Leo Smith Ten Freedom Summers - Get on it - 5 hours of blissful complex compositions - "if Miles Davis had recorded Ligeti during the 1950s" - don't sleep on this one

How y'all read and review a book every day? Don't you guys work, or eat? (Pimp pimp, hooray!)

You know what the problem with this book is? Not enough about Bavarian Educational Reform. I mean, there's some, but not nearly enough.
