What are you currently reading?
The extra letter:
I'm reading "Ender's Game" at the moment. I'm about 1/3 of the way through. So far, I'm really not too sure what to make of it. I'm enjoying it, but the way Card is portraying the kids is just bizarre. I understand that they're supposed to be more intellectually developed than kids these days, but I still think Piaget et. al. would just be scratching their heads and going "what the hell is this?"
Suspension of disbelief? Whassat?
Kugai:
Mostly Yuri Slashfic online at the moment :-D
But still chewing through Anne McCafftey's Pern Series as well.
Joseph:
Lots of Language Poetry, trying to figure out my feelings towards it. Definitely someone like Lyn Hejinian seems far and away better (at least to my sensibilities) than someone like Charles Bernstein, but we'll see where I am in a while with all this. Ron Silliman has a few interesting things, but his blog, though full of lots of interesting things, is a little too shallow. But, I haven't had a chance to immerse myself in Language writing properly yet - perhaps sometime in the next few weeks when my workload falls off a little.
Also a fantastic book by Jacques Roubaud, Poetry Etc.. Investigates the nature of poetry in a series of short essays, and one long long dialogue. Fun and entertaining, and it's all theory on poetics! Roubaud is one of my favourite Oulipo writers, though he doesn't begin to approach Raymond Queneau or George Perec. Miles ahead of Harry Matthews and (especially) Jacques Jouet though.

That you say this shit to us is one of the reasons why we find you a really creepy dude.

I've been catching up on Breaking Bad. I just finish watching the episode "One Minute" and holy shit was tense.
