Mentioning Design orientated books, has anyone read Made You Look by Stefan Sagmeister?
What a fabulous object that book is, cost me a fortune but it was well worth it. If anyone gets a chance to have a look at it, please take the time.

That's cool, _awt_ : have you read A Garden of Pomegranates by Israel Regardie? or The Book of Thoth, by Aleister Crowley?

Bremzen: The introduction to the Compositional book mentioned the letters, and highly recommend them :) The book is called "Satie the Composer", and is written by a Robert Orledge.
neetta: yeah, I had the misfortune to watch a documentary on what is meant to be the most liberal Tv channel here, and it kept calling him evil, a black magician, and yes, a satanist--I was fuming throughout! >:(

I'm in too many literature courses, and I'm supposed to have finished Canterbury Tales, Purgatorio, The Book of Good Love, Guide to the Perplexed, the Gazelle, a thick stack of essays by Freud, Barthes, Hegel, and Kant, half of the Hebrew Bible and a good portion of Divus Julius by Monday. It's not happening.

Just finished reading "The Lucifer Principle" by Howard Bloom for the second time. Focused on his thesis that social structures are a type of superorganism. It's right interesting, so check it out.

Yes, it's thought provoking. I also recommend "The Ego and It's Own" by Max Stirner. Amoralist egoism at its finest, called the most revolutionary book ever written. Dangerous stuff.

right. I'll join in.
Paul, did you read the book of interviews with David Lynch "Lynch on Lynch" published by Faber & Faber..? I have that one, its very interesting.
I've just read "Don't panic" - a book about Douglas Adams and how he wrote the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. (and its written by Neil Gaiman). it was nice.
also, I'm reading "eating naked", strange short stories by Stephen Dobyns.
and I have to read "Oedipus Rex", the play.

It's called 'Weirdsville USA' and it's about his movies/Tv work--I'm up to the 2nd series of Twin Peaks with it--I failed to realise that his movies are littered with references to The Wizard Of Oz! :)

lullaby is about a journalist who tries to figure out a story behind all of these crib deaths that occur and discovers that the root of all these deaths is a lullaby that the parents would read the baby before bed that kills them. "sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you."
*bam!* you're dead!
