Just bought this off the bookshelf at my local coffee shop.

My first proper copy of a Beckett. <3

I certainly need to acquire his complete works but this is a respectable start.

"Waiting for Elmo."

They seriously don't make television like this anymore. <3

I haven't been in a reading mood this week. The reason I know is because I have a Graham Greene book, a book about the Crusades, a book about the Soviet political system, and a Goethe novel all open at the moment.

The last book I finished is The Big Nowhere by James Ellroy. When I get back into it I will probably go with Goethe's Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship.

I posted today's find to my member journal but it definitely deserves mention in a proper book thread.

While hitting up the city with a dear old friend, I happened upon this copy of JOHN CAGE – I-VI (The Charles Eliot Norton Lectures delivered at Harvard in 1988–89), a 464pp oversize hardcover.

An aggregate web search returns the lowest-priced copy at $93.99. Or $269.00 new from Harvard University Press.

I paid $18 for a mint edition.

It was just waiting on the shelf for me to come by and claim it. And I will definitely give it a loving home beside my other Cage essentials. <3

Just finished reading the new ambient book, Music Beyond Airports to be published August 1st! Lots of exploration of Eno's work in this one. I've added it to Goodreads so everyone can mark it as read when they finish it.

I'm in no way affiliated other than having enjoyed the text so I'll share -
