i saw that in a bookstore and it looked interesting. how is it? I really enjoyed it. I have a few of his books, and he's pretty consistent. He's also the founder of McSweeney's. Nick Hornby wrote a screenplay for the film adaptation, but nothing seems to be happening with that. |

Past few months, I finished Atonement by Ian McEwan, Love in the Time of Cholera by Marquez, No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy, and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
Just finished How to Make an American Quilt for class.
Excited to read for myself, once classes are done.

marcuse's "one dimensional man" has been an ongoing affair for me for a few months. how are you finding this? AND are you reading this for "fun" or for academic reasons? just curious The Watchmen - Alan Moore Mobile Communications and society: a global perspective - Manuel Castells et al. i really like it. reading it for "fun" so i have just been inching along so i can better absorb the material. i would like to study it academically at some point if i'm able to do so. |

ALSO, this is pretty awesome video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-5311625903124176509&q=herbert+marcuse&ei=2P5GSNixFYfm-AGxpJimDA&hl=en |

I just finished Taqwacores. Fiction about Muslim punks. Weird but interesting. The beginning is boring but the rest is good.
