Vacation Bookshelf
I brought along Don Delillo’s Cosmopolis and Cockburn and St. Clair’s The Politics of Anti-Semitism. Received two new books at WTF, both interesting, both now stacked on the bedside table: McInery and White’s FutureWealth, and Art Kleiner’s Who Really Matters. Yesterday at the United Nations they gave me a copy of “The Question of Palestine and the United Nations.” The first one’s free doncha know… so like a junkie with his wake-up, I set about finding more books… went away with Clarke’s Against All Enemies, Krugman’s The Great Unraveling, Schulz’ Tainted Legacy, and Sen’s Development as Frreedom. Last night we ducked into Barnes and Noble on the way to dinner and I accidentally bought Shorto’s The Island in the Center of the World.
Did you hear that The Confusion, the second volume in Neal Stephenson’s trilogy (”The Baroque Cycle”) will be released on 4/13? So Amazon promises…
