I definitely want to look at whatever you suggest alan. The Echolalia book
sounds fascinating, but then I have always had a thing for zone books.
As for the O'Reilly stuff. It all sounds great, but really
I get enough Geektopia at work so I kind of like to get in a more 18th
Century mood at home, you know, bloody piss-stained caftan clustering
my rusty ankles, the smell of the ripe spitoon, that kind of thing..
The O'Reilly 'think' books and stuff like Bennahum really hold me however

Have you read Zone 6? or Zone 3, or Zone 5? The Journal Alexandria is
Probably not - I assume you're not talking about Zone books? Is the

Barbara Maria Stafford is Brilliant, ne, and Yes, I have read it or at
it.. It's a fatty.. I keep it next to the desk as a primary reference.
Everybody should read her work. Not only Body criticism but her Artful
science as well. These are encyclopedic wunderkammernish works. the
illustration lists obscene. As far as the art goes in body criticism, be
sure to check out T. McClean's The Body Politic or the March of the
Intellect. I think that one image sums up my whole approach, or what i
'think' is my approach..
Ah - I noticed that image right away myself, Hello Dali -

I love this text - I'm about to review a Stafford book (that's how I got
it at the SLSA) - Body Criticism - have you read it? What's your take on
her? Also given your interests, you should absolutely check out Lingis'
Excesses if you haven't, as well as his more recent work - Alan
