I love Portrait of a Lady and second the recommend for M de Certeau, I read part of that & quite enjoyed. Also what about Walter Benjamin's arcades project - too obvious? Bachelard, The Poetics of Space.

Here is what I am reading

"I read an amazing book recently that's a f***ing manifesto for my philosophies on information on the web and through other connected technologies. The book is Ambient Findability, and it's a short read, but dense with inspiration. It talks about everything from defining a document (animal in wild != document, animal in zoo = document, but what about animal in wild with RFID tag?) to person-tracking to folksonomy to the long tail to ambient information to wearable computing."

I am really a super novice here, but we need one (1) CMS + thesauras + metadata + serious information design to really make some of our web sites work, so I picked up the O'Reilly book on IA, although I don't remember where I found out about it. it's from 2002 so I bet a lot of new cool stuff has come out since then.

Oh shit, from the recommended list in the back of that book:

― tehresa, who will here remain anonymous (tehresa), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 03:23 (twenty years ago)

an advance copy of This Is Your Brain On Music by Steven Leviten, he's a neuroscientist and former record producer who explains how we perceive and process music. It's written for a general audience but he doesn't gussy up the cognitive or mathematical underpinnings of music theory w/fancypants prose.

this book is blowing my mind, bros.

― m coleman (lovebug starski), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 09:03 (twenty years ago)

neat.

I have a safari sub as well (@work) but would it kill them to make the interface better so that the books are actually readable?

― dar1a g (daria g), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 10:32 (twenty years ago)

I made it through high school and part of college without ever reading a word of Philip Roth, so I started Portnoy's Complaint. Thru 125 or so, I am not sold.

― milo z (mlp), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 19:40 (twenty years ago)

Currently into The Economy of Cities, by Jane Jacobs. It makes me want to punch every hippy and/or redneck nimby right in the face.

After taking a long break from it, I am now back to Pessoa's "The Book of Disquiet". It's amazing, and it is a weirdly potent kind of mood-intoxicant. It kind of paralyzes you with ennui.

― Drew Daniel (Drew Daniel), Sunday, 9 July 2006 16:15 (nineteen years ago)

wha?????

haha I knew that was coming .... playing catch-up over here! don't laugh!
