Jamin BogiMy book club read my favorite novel last go-around. A few of the members struggled mightily with it, but all finished.
And now I shall reward them!
\u1f0a1@Frohmann Die letzten guten Sachbücher waren #HaskellInDepth von #VitalyBragilevsky (Manning), #TractatusLogicoPhilosophicus (re-read) von #LudwigWittgenstein, #TheJoyOfAbstraction von @DrEugeniaCheng, #TheTimelessWayOfBuilding von #ChristopherAlexander und #TheArtOfGameDesign von #JesseSchell.
Das letzte gute Fiktionale ist leider schon eine kleine Ewigkeit her: #MasonAndDixon von #ThomasEPynchon.
Wanting to stay in the world of #MasonAndDixon for a while longer, so I'm reading Letters from an American Farmer by J. Hector St. John de Crèvecoeur next.
Accompanied by cold beer & a notebook. Great dreampop from Air Hunger cushioning my ears.

Finished #MasonAndDixon last night. Hit by a fierce need to weep. Heavy, shuddering convulsions.
I went upstairs to cry alone. My wife heard me moving & asked me to do some chore up there. I tried to hide the tears in my voice, & in doing so, I quashed the convulsions, but not the desire.
A chest that yearned for release; tears that would not come. Horribly unsatisfying feeling, like messing up a sneeze x20.
Anyway, best book ever!
Night over all this watershed how vast, that covers each soul in it like a breathing Mouth, humid, warm, carrying the odors of living and dying, that takes back ev'rything committed upon the Land that Day, without appeal, dissolving all in Shadow.
(p. 585)
Prepping for tonight's 2nd of 3 book club meetings for #MasonAndDixon by #Pynchon. Comparing the novel's events w/ a transcript of Mason's journal I got from the good people at Mason-Dixon Historical Park in Core, West Virginia.
