An overview? Fuck. Zizek basically re-reads Christianity as a Hegelian and makes it a whole lot less appealing (read: more nihilistic) but at the same time more comprehensible (for me, at least). Milbank counters Zizek's dialectical interpretation of God (a God who is alienated from himself) with a God who exceeds himself, who is not only love but is more love than he is, and this excess love forms "the universe." Then Zizek calls Milbank a pagan and develops his "atheistic Christianity" some more. It's an atheism vs theism debate that looks nothing like the ones Dawkins & co are waging, because it actually takes into account post-modernism and the problematic status of "reason" and "truth." Dense as fuck and probably requires some understanding of Hegel (and Lacan), but invaluable as far as I'm concerned.

Got it for Chrissy. It's progressing slowly so far - normally I would guess it's building but I can never predict what Bolano is going to do. I'm expecting something incredible though..

Well that's refreshing in it's own right. I will have to read it, even though I already know it's not very likely I'll comprehend much of it.

It's about..... Woodstock. Written by "The Man Behind The Festival," Michael Lang. I'm pretty excited to start it. I'll also be starting this soon:



Hopefully it will be good. I usually really enjoy short stories.

It is a fantastic book, one I've read several times, and I continue to get something new from it each time I read it.

The Rum Diaries-Hunter S Thompson
Wasn't much for it, shame considering how much I generally enjoy his work.
