Notes, for starters

I take my reading seriously, as seriously as some might read my taking.

The years pass, years in which events were not lacking.

5 years, like wind chimes, what five years really means.

sending sentences to loved ones as horoscopes, birthday wishes, get well messages, etc.

blogs are public, social spaces -- "spaces in which meaning occurs" (LI 4): to read silently and in public, to publish a silent reading?

One hundred years after Duchamp, why hasn't straight appropriation become a valid, sustained or even tested literary practice?

also: "nutritionless" -- c: Quintilian's "innutrition" (Erasmus, Montaigne)

Reason looks for two, then arranges it from there (ML, 81)

"When you say, They are both reading the same book, do you mean the same writing but in different copies or do you mean in turns at the same copy." (ML, 93-94)

archival summary: (e.g. august = "xxx" to "yyy" sentences)
