What are you reading?

Has this been done before? If so, I'll plead newbie ignorance.

I just finished

historical fiction isn't my thing but I've liked his previous stuff so I though I'd give it a shot

The Less Volatile U.S. Economy: A Bayesian Investigation of Timing, Breadth, and Potential Explanations.

It's a real cliffhanger…

Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game by Michael Lewis

I shit thee not:

"Any Old Way You Choose It: Rock and Other Pop Music, 1967-1973" - Robert Christgau

It's a collection of his essays/reviews from that time period. It's interesting to read what he wrote about certain artists and albums, without the benefit of 30+ years of hindsight to reflect on their work.

Is that what you're pursuing? I'm considering going down that path myself.

I just got his other book, The Neon Bible, for Christmas, have you read it? If so, is it as good as Confederacy?

Couldn't get through that one.

I haven't read it…I think he wrote it when he was 15 years old. It is supposed to be pretty generic and nothing like Confederacy.

ultimate guide to newspaper publishing.

ohhhh Confederacy of Dunces is such a fine book.

I just finished The Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri (excellent) and have just begun Borstal Boy by Brendan Behan

[imagine the image of a book]

I work part-time in such a library. I'm considering writing a senior thesis about how music libraries are equiped or not equiped (mostly the latter) for the study of experimental music outside of the classical tradition (e.g. stuff covered in The Wire).
