Definitely worth a read though.

I haven't read The Satantic Verses verses yet. I've been more interested in Rushdie's non-fiction to begin with, but of course I want to read the book that got him in trouble. The essay collection I'm reading also touches upon the aftermath of that book.

And I don't think the book would be over your head. Rushdie is a very readable author.
Good enough: I'll add it to the list. Thanks guys.

Marcus Aurelius' Meditations.

Need some inner balance these days.

John Dies At The End. Which has become one of my favorite stories.

I was exploring archives of interviews with Brian Eno and happened upon a dialog between Michael Engelbrecht, Briano Eno, and collaborator Karl Hyde (two of my musical heroes). What was delightfully surprising was that the interviewer's description of their album, which I was playing at that very instant, was littered with references to existentialism and Samuel Becket, which has been an active literary pursuit of mine this week.

Such a treat when the stars align like that.

Can we talk poetry? I've just ordered both of Nayyirah Waheed's works, looking for more of the same. I'm very out of touch with contemporary poets, hoping for some recommendations.

Franz Wright is my a personal favourite, especially his poetry prose. Moving a bit away from contemporary but staying modern, I'd say that E.E. Cummings is quintessential.

Oh yes, huge fan of Cummings. Will check out Wright, thanks.

Exploring The Society for American Archivists website I read a wonderful feature titled, Archival Theory and Digital Historiography: Selection, Search, and Metadata as Archival Processes for Assessing Historical Contextualization by Joshua Sternfeld, published in The American Archivist journal.

Further browsing led me to their bookstore where I found this gem. I don't want to judge a book by its cover... but God that's beautiful. :)

I've compiled a short list of related lit from the site and will be visiting my city's central library to see if they have any additional resources.
