David Mamet, the playwright, wrote a book I am really enjoying called "Bambi vs. Godzilla; on the Nature, Purpose, and Practice of the Movie Business". Doesn't have the slow-dialogue quality of his plays, moves right along.

In non-fiction: am reading a book now strongly recommended to me by an artist called "The Judgement of Paris; the revolutionary decade that gave the world Impressionism." Read this one book and be culturally literate. Seriously it is a good, well written and well-paced, interesting book.

Ben May Main Library has been open for 6 weeks now -- Summer Library Program ended last Saturday. Expect more postings from now on. Yaaay!
