20 jazz funk greats:
i will talk about barthes with someone else.
it's cool.
Joseph:
I'll talk about Barthes with you Anna. I was planning on picking through Camera Lucida sometime soon anyhow. He has a lot of interesting things to say in Mythologies, but it wasn't something found especially compelling. I've been wanting to check out his later work though for some time, as apparently his thought went through quite a number of changes.
Also, if you want to borrow books, you're welcome to come to Montreal. Don't you live in Ontario? It's not that far!
Johnny C:
oh we can chat about him and i like chatting about his ideas, and he's an important figure in mid-20th-century literary studies (and an absolutely vital one in authorial studies if you'll pardon the pun), i just don't like his writing style and fundamentally disagree with his perception of the author
Inlander:
Okay guys, voting's closed and it was tight but Stieg Larsson just beat out Cormac McCarthy, ten votes to nine. I'm going to pop out and buy my copy now and get reading (it suits me well, I'm in the mood for a quick thrill having just finished reading Middlemarch a couple of days ago). I hope nobody's too disappointed by the result, but I'm sure there'll be a lot to discuss about the book and about the peripheral issues that have come up around it.
Liz:
Alright, I'll pick it up from the library tomorrow and get reading. Too bad it's closed for the day already, I've got free time tonight...
