Again, The Manhattan Project

I'm knee deep in The Lost Fleet series, but The Manhattan Project, which LFPL purchased at my request, and for which I was given First Reader honors, is due today, so I decided to have another run through it this morning.

It's a lovely little book. Reading it makes me want to reread all of Krasznahorkai's other books again . . . which I intend to do in the near near ANYway . . . and also makes me want to reread Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano . . . AND reread Moby Dick . . . AND read all the rest of Melville. Preferably in chronological order. And st least one biography of Melville. 

Mmm-hmm.

That's the way this shit always goes. It's like nuclear fission. One thing leads to another, Y'know what I'm sayin'.

I'm pretty sure that if there is a heaven, a sizeable portion of the real estate will be devoted to The Library. I'm looking forward to reading the complete works of J.D. Salinger when I get there. That sequel to The Catcher in the Rye is really going to kick ass.
