000531 to 000601	Blade Runner 2: The Edge of Human K. W. Jeter	Good for what it is.movie-nerds' wet dream, what they'd all wished had been done with Highlander. continuation of the movie's story in the style of Dick's book, with multiple scenes which are reporductions or reflections from the original (another Deckard/Batty fight in the rain on decaying city infrastructure).

990717 to 990723	Leonardo's Ink Bottle : The Artist's Way of Seeing Roberta Weir	a little too simplistic. written like poetry you don't even remember reading 5 seconds later.

981224 to 990208	Mason & Dixon Thomas Pynchon	What a waste of paper.
981220 to 981224	On With the Story John Barth	amazing storytelling the intricate intertwining of these short stories was so damn good that after finishing it I bought 25 copies to force on friends.[990311] the intricate intertwining of these short stories was so damn good that after finishing I didn't just recommend it to everyone, I bought 25 copies to force on friends so they almost HAD to read it. lots of literary games going on, but not at the expense of the story in general. the main story focus of a married couple, their struggles, and exactly what's wrong with the health of one of them gives these stories a dark edge.[000427]

This is a watered-down history book for people who know nothing about the concept.
981205 to 981209	Beautiful Losers Leonard Cohen	see below (and it wasn't really powerful this time around, though I could see a little more of what he was trying to do with the book.)
981120 to 981124	The Book of Laughter and Forgetting Milan Kundera	didn't like it that much (maybe I need to read it when I'm sober). the unbearable lightness of being was much better.

980918 to 980921	Stranger in a Strange Land Robert A Heinlein	the uncut version. only difference I noticed was that Ben freaks out about out-in-the-open het-sex in this version instead of freaking out over a 'homosexual pass'. strange that he had to change it that way....

980820 to 980821	The Prehistory of the Mind: The Cognitive Origins of Art, Religion and Science Stephen Mithen	this was interesting, but it doesn't directly touch upon the concept of evolutionary spandrels as his letter to the NYReview of Books seemed to indicate
980818 to 980818	God Left Us Alone Here: A Book of War John Gaps III	STAND ALONE's creator/editor is an AP photographer. He's been to lots of war zones. He got shot. Here's his photography and poetry.

971015 to 971016	What More Is There to Say but Amen: The Autobiography of Dr. Oswald C.J. Hoffmann As Told to Ronald J. Schlegel Oswald C J Hoffmann Ronald J Schlegel	It came free in the mail. So it's about this old Lutheran (Missouri Synod) radio guy. I read it. A sort of endurance feat? I dunno. I did learn some about the Lutheran Church (like what the hell a Synod is), and I learned how much fucking power some joker like this guy has...meeting with a president every 5 years, sitting in on Catholic hierarchy decisions, etc. It drones on a lot, but it's a good ethnographic survey of his times....some of the things that he finds shocking-funny or absurd-funny are good indicators of how far away from his point of view I am (neutral value statement).[980909] And once there was this time when... So, one day this book turns up in my mailbox. I decided I'd read it. I'm an atheist and I'm ordained in the Universal Life Church, so I thought I'd give this a read. Easy reading, somewhat rambling. I saw it as a sort of reality check on the totally separate cultures people living in the same general geographical locations can live in: these are things that this guy finds/found scandalous and which I find too trivial to name. I'm probably too young to have cared about many of the names dropped and i'm not really interested in the history of the Lutheran Church (whatever Synod), so there's a lot of material there that doesn't impact my life. The most interesting part to me, personally, was the amount of political pull and power he exhibits in the book/his life. That was the sobering thought that let me get through without skipping too many pages.[980625]

970713 to 970713	Hogg Samuel R Delany	Grotesque enough to make you squirm, yet humorous at times. I read Hogg in two sittings at Perkins here in Ames, IA. During the first, a friend sat where she could see me as I read. I kept distracting her with my reactions: most often a look of disgust "as if maggots were crawling out of your book". But occasionally there were those incredibly funny parts...whether intentional or not, generally bits of extreme understatement ("really unhappy" indeed). In Hogg, you are taken on a journey by another of Delany's silent-observer characters, through the life and times of a rapist-for-hire, Hogg. Hogg lives up to his name, rolling in literal filth whenever possible. In thinking about it now, I'm giving myself occasional heebie-jeebies, but it really isn't any worse than whan you can find on the usenet binaries hierarchy. In fact, I don't recall a single act of bestiality in the book, so Delany really has some more area to work with. I enjoyed the gross-out factor, I admit. As well, it helps add some more flesh to the subjects that Delany works with. It also explores the regions that many people don't even want to admit exist, let alone think, read, or talk about. For that reason I'd recommend it to anyone with the note that it is not for those uncomfortable with sex at it's most perverse.[970727]
970702 to 970706	The Bridge Hart Crane	not easy poetry, but worth the struggle I'd suggest reading Samuel R Delany's essay (in Longer Views) and accidentally catching a program on PBS about Hart Crane after your first read of it. It helped me tremendously. An epic poem which explores America, "modern" poetic imagery (the Brooklyn bridge as opposed to a tree), Columbus, Whitman, Poe, Pocahontas, and sea imagery. It also contains very bold (for the pre-Stonewall era) allusions to homosexuality, in the typical method of the period which is rooted in gender-neutrality.[970727]

961202 to 961208	Philosophy of Religion David Elton Trueblood	Sincere Philosophy from an educated Christian Perspective I'm an atheist. Trueblood's a Christian. And this book was the most decent, honest representation of the traditional aspects of philosophy from the Christian perspective. Some of the logic is easy to poke holes in, but some of it is pretty solid. By the end of the book, I was very sincerely doing some spiritual searching. Many Christians leave me rather wanting to throttle them with their crucifix necklaces, but Trueblood redeems a great many of them. [980911]

Beautiful Losers is at times an homage to a canadian catholic saint, a history of canada, and a bizzare love triange in hell.[970306]
