>> In the last few weeks I've read: >> >> BladeRunner 2: The Edge Of Human - KW Jeter >> BladeRunner 3: Replicant Night - KW Jeter >> Future Noir: The Making Of BladeRunner - ? >> Spear Of Destiny - Trevor Ravenscroft i am currently finishing of henry roth's mercy of a rude stream quartet, and it's excellent. (roth is the guy who wrote call it sleep, which i'm sure many people read in modern american lit.) four solid books by an old, dead guy who probably never had the pleasure of listening to autechre. it's funny how most of the stuff being offered up on idm up is sci-fi, postmodern, culture/anti-culture, and general cult faves like ballard, burroughs, and pynchon. it's kind of how, on a goth list, everyone is reading anne rice or lautreamont, and how industrial headz are always reading stuff on re/search... >> Josephus: The Jewish War, & Antiquities (anyone care to recommend good >> translations?). there's a somewhat hard to find collected works put out by Hendrickson publishers (translated by a Wm.Whiston) that reads exceptionally well. the Williamson translations in the penguin classics is cheap, easy to find and very well translated, imho. happy hunting. r.j.
