A podcast about books, art & life — not necessarily in that order
Here’s a summer reading list (PDF) of NYC-types and other smartypants. The official VM fiancee was happy to find that Harold Bloom adores one of her favorite books, John Crowley’s Little, Big. My book this week is Madame Bovary, as mentioned a few days ago. On the blogroll to the left I also put in the link to everydamnbook (.xls) I’ve finished since 1989, when I went to college. Oh, and my Amazon wish list. If, y’know, you wanted to buy me a book, movie, or record.

CUTS DEAL WITH SATAN
Unfortunately, his deal was with the Islanders. If he played for the Devils, I’d have bought my first-ever hockey sweater (don’t get me started on my pile of basketball jerseys, including an Argentine national team jersey).
