I do not voluntarily think about movies. They have grafted themselves into my mind and have colonized the way i see and interact with the world. I'm glad that Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Miller's Crossing, Hurley Burley, The Last Emperor, Cape Fear, City of God, The Corporation, Dr. Strangelove, Donnie Darko, The Big Lebowski, Happiness, Storytelling, Waking life, A Clockwork Orange, and Lost in Translation are somewhere in there, ruling my every thought.

The last few books I've read have been walking the black cat (simic), ana historic (marlatt), the little prince, artists in times of war (zinn), the subject of semiotics (silverman), a people's history of the u.s. (zinn), the 18th Brumiere of Louis Bonepart (Marx), Capital (Marx), War, Evil and The End of History (Levy), A History of Labor in the U.S. (I forget).
