Re: [microsound] summer book lists?

Rudy,

I must admit that I didn't really know about his non-fictions untill now.
I've had a quick look on the web and they sound very interesting,
particularly his film criticism. Let me know more if you wish.

I got a great book out of my local library which was quite a large,
collected chunk of his output in one book. I read the Aleph and quite a few
others which I enjoyed. I found I needed a break though. I love his writing
syle and, though I don't yet know a lot about the way Borges worked, the way
he retold stories is absolutely amazing. The problem I found was that after
2 or 3 books worth it seemed a bit flat, all played out one level. This
seems counterintuitive to the mazes and labyrinths, the works are clever and
rich, but I think I need to come back to him again after a while. Also I was
clocking up fines and my girlfriend wasn't happy that I still hadn't started
reading the Sarte books she bought me for my birthday last year (lack of
time rather than will).

Have you read "Brodies report"? This sounds interesting. It would also be
good to see any changes in his development after a 20 year gap.

regards
Murray
