– I’m reading The Sheltering Sky right now (Bowles).
For some reason fall started to bite and I began reading a bunch of books set in northern Africa. First The Stranger, then this, probably The Plague next.

Posthumous Novels by Vladimir Nabokov, David... →
I’m all for the posthumous printing on literary works against the author’s wishes. I can’t wait for Nabokov’s Original Laura to come out.

Kid Rock on Twitter
I was reading an old Rolling Stone magazine the other day and I was enthralled by an interview with rock musician and United States aficionado Kid Rock.
I learned that Kid Rock enjoys Lynyrd Skynyrd and he’s been to a Tears For Fears concert (“Look all all these fucking white people. This is incredible,” he says. “They’re all so well-behaved!”)
Anyway, this I...
