I reread The Last Interview with James Baldwin and some secondary readings on Faulkner.
reminded me of how much I love those guys. Except one of the journals on Faulkner was a nauseatingly feminist interpretation

I've been reading A Long Strange Trip (official biography of the Grateful Dead) on and off since the beginning of the year. It's slow going, but I enjoy looking up cool stuff in the Index and reading about those things in the middle of the book.

"To map the very stuff of life; to look into the genetic mirror and watch a million generations march past. That, friends, is both our curse and our proudest achievement. For it is in reaching to our beginnings that we begin to learn who we truly are."

Whenever I see anything to do with DNA and the like, I hearken back to this quote. One day they'll map it all out, and then some.

Lately I've been interested in women of antiquity. Lucrezia Borgia and Eleanor of Aquitaine.
The Bayeux Tapestry.

I've got books on Kit Carson, Benjamin Franklin and an Cochrane the Dauntless and a couple on japan from the 1700s on backup. Plus Warren Zevon.

Also wanted to know if anyone knows any good books on Cortez and south america. In a recent thread an anon said that there are some interesting books that say Cortez was actually relatively lenient with the aztecs and the south americans helped him overthrown them. But I want one that's as partial as possible. Any recs?
