Exercise Your Mind

“There’s no evidence at this stage that the great books in our culture can be produced through the Internet right now. If the equivalent of ‘Ulysses’ came along, out it would go on the Internet, it would get like about 12 Fs in a row — ‘I couldn’t get through the first page,’ ‘Couldn’t get through the first chapter,’ F-F-F-F-F, and ‘Ulysses’ would disappear.” — James Patterson

Today’s Book Suggestion

Blue Movie — Terry Southern

Something I’m Reading Now

Histories — Heroditus

Something I Finished Reading

Christine Falls: A Novel — Benjamin Black
