just now on the subway i heard one little girl deliver the clearest explanation of how to blow a bubble i've ever heard. i want to try now.
i read marcus aurelius's "meditations" a couple days ago. i /really/ wish i'd stumbled upon this sooner. i mean, i'm no stoic, much less a Stoic, but it directly addressed several of the moral questions i've been stumbling over. more on this soon.
current reading list:
e. l. doctorow, "the book of daniel"
foucault, "madness and civilization"
w. james, "the varieties of the religious experience"
ngai, "ugly feelings" (still)
m. amis, "yellow dog"
pynchon, "the crying of lot 49"
the rough guide to china
wallace, "consider the lobster"
nussbaum, "frontiers of justice"
banville, "the sea"
i love christmas book-buying.
