Burned through two slim paperbacks last weekend: A Little Lumpen Novelita by Roberto Bolaño and The Tunnel by Ernesto Sabato. On my e-reader (which I use mostly for older classics), I just finished The Fortune of the Rougons, the first of Émile Zola’s Rougon-Macquart cycle, and am partway through the introduction for The Kill, the second.

  My slower, long-term reads currently include re-reading Moby Dick, which I feel I didn’t absorb too well on the first read (a quarter of a century, ago as a middle-schooler), a huge collection of short stories by Anton Chekhov, another huge collection of short stories by Guy de Maupassant, and Proust’s masterpiece, In Search of Lost Time (two volumes down).

I’ve gotten tired of that and now the duvet cover is always in a load by itself. A bit wasteful, but it preserves my sanity.

I haven’t heard of that one. I’ll have to look into it. 😀

The Lost Room. A forgotten SyFy channel gem.

Joke’s on you. I have Firefox set up to delete all cookies upon exiting, so what few I do accept don’t get to stick around for long…

It’s like articles that ask a question in the title…

Reminds me of this:

Fotonica definitely deserves more love. A simple adrenaline-rush timing-based running game, but extremely addictive! Good for getting really into that hyperfocus zone.
