(I seem to have lost almost all my Cecil Taylor CDs, but I still have Patterson.) Great book, and I urge everyone with an interest in the subject to read it.Languagehathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285708503881129380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375681131276548542.post-13710361659669592562008-12-19T09:43:00.000+00:002008-12-19T09:43:00.000+00:00As far as 1982 goes: I, unfortunately, was not awa...As far as 1982 goes: I, unfortunately, was not aware of the existence of these books at the time. I was a little preoccupied with my birth and becoming self-aware of my own existence.<BR/><BR/>I did finally read <I>If on a winter's night a traveler</I>-- thanks to Helen's recommendation--this past year. <I>Riddley Walker</I> has been on my Amazon shopping list for some time now, and I'm gonna have to check out the others soon.<BR/><BR/>And as far as the latest xkcd goes: I like to see myself as the "strange kid". (That's not me being conceited, just slightly self-aware.) lol. <---eww, i just lol'd on your blog. sorry 'bout that.nsiqueiroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11308615062238352158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375681131276548542.post-8573279749568645802008-12-19T03:02:00.000+00:002008-12-19T03:02:00.000+00:00ARGHHHH!Nothing in particular to say, other than g...ARGHHHH!<BR/><BR/>Nothing in particular to say, other than general commiseration on internet cafes. I went the other day to the fancy Chelsea Piers gym with a friend & had it illuminated to me why a fancy gym membership in Manhattan with wireless internet, cafe areas and locker potential would be well worth it to a young person who lives in Brooklyn but works and often socializes in Manhattan... Riddley Walker and Hawksmoor were exactly two books that blew my mind in the mid-80s! But can it really be that there is such a short list of dazzling things? Having just moved to new apt, and got rid of SLEWS of books, my first Amazon book purchase to new address has arrived - Consciousness and the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind...Jenny Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295436498255927522noreply@blogger.com
