books read . . .

. . . while in Europe: The Road by Cormac McCarthy, which was pretty fantastic; The Final Solution by Michael Chabon, which I read straight through and need to reread, because it is so short that it works more like an extended short story and I feel like I missed some nuances of the story. Also Book of My Nights by Li-Young Lee: pretty damn awesome stuff.

Listening to Bob Dylan, Modern Times, which I am digging. He really is lyrically gifted, undeniably so. What would the world have been like if Bob were a poet? Is he already? Hmmm. Everything is ultimately connected somehow. I am thinking of that rhino again.
