Lazy
One of these days I might get back to blogging semi-regularly about what I am reading. But as I am squeamish about turning this into my personal reading journal, rather short on time and not entirely sure a soul on earth even visits this blog, I don't believe it's in the cards. I am now reading Nick Hornby's Housekeeping vs. The Dirt, a fine example of the type of casual, personal accounts of a reader's life that might just thrive on this page. I recently discovered Salon's Literary Guide to the World. I am fairly certain this is not a new creation but it's new to me, and it's quite exciting. But that's about all I got right now.

Thanks for the link to the article on Joyce’s Funnygoons Work … erm, whoops! I meant Finnegans Wake. That book has touched me like no other — I happed upon it while going through a really bad phase in my life, and it seemed to mirror the hypercube–like labyrinth of my mind — and I’d forgotten I could use the web as a resource for Joyce’s works! Cheers.
Bro, do you want to stick that Salon link into the Resources section? It's cool.
