This is the first and last post of June. I've been on the Cape, relaxing, with Mary. We've mostly been working during the days and then going out to eat or staying home with movies and books and hemp weavings at night. I have a new weaving that even Ezra Weiland would be proud of. So far I've finished:


  • A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole

  • The Human Use of Human Beings: Cybernetics and Society by Norbert Weiner

  • Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

  • The Republic by Plato

  • The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien

  • A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle

  • Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone by J.K. Rawling



I believe there are some more, but I don't remember them at the moment. Confederacy of Dunces was hilarious, and quite a fun, fast entertaining read. I'm trying to get Mary to read it (it is Mary's book after all), but she's been so busy with work. The Human Use of Human Beings is weird. It's the best mix of biology and philosophy that I've ever seen. I'm hoping that I'll find a major in there somewhere. By the time I finish. Right now he's rambling on about how the ant's structural exoskeleton determines its inability to learn, and how that's a justification for the fascist structure of ant society, and how human internal skeleton makes for quick easy growth, and how we shouldn't be limited and should live in a democratic society. It's fun.

We rented the Harry Potter movie one night. I think it took me longer to watch the movie then it did to read the book.

I want that cybernetics book.
 
I'll give it to you when I get home... It's only 200 pages, but its slow. Fun, and slow.
