most recently I read Secret Rendezvous by Kobo Abe. It was OK but I liked The Ruined Map better ...

I was reading "In a country of mothers" by AM Homes - just a whim - it's OK, I think she's probably written better stuff though.

Currently reading PAMELA which is v good and Watson's book about Zappa which is slightly less good. Also The Book of Margery Kempe which is not by choice and less good (or at least less interesting) than all three of the above.

The Plugged Nickel box is amazing, most of all because Miles is the weakest link in the band a lot of the time (and I really don't like Wayne Shorter very much at all). -- pdf

the "image" he means is kind of a photographic image people mentally take of cities as they walk around them and navigate them -- a kind of moment-to-moment spatial analysis, or the way people are able to figure out/remember directions by recalling notable buildings and intersections and public spaces, and how dead areas and drab neighborhoods without any real nodes of activity make it easier for visitors to get lost. he looks at cities very systemically, by going into detail and then asking how those details function within the larger system. only problem from the reader's end is that it was written in 1960 and some of the places he's talked about have changed or are undergoing changes. what he writes about is still very relevant though.

I am reading the Peter Green biography (still). I bought Alan Lomax's 'Where the Blues Began' for cheap at the book fair on Sunday, and I hope to finish the Green and start the Lomax before the blues fest starts on Friday.
