Close! More like tcp_wrapper logs....
But when I'm not reading machine-generated hyperventilations, I've been
reading or re-reading:
The Human Stain, by Philip Roth. (An audio excerpt is gloriously
available from the NYT Book Review section at www.nytimes.com!)
I Married a Communist, also Philip Roth.
Hamlet, by some guy named Willie.
Van Gogh: Starry Night: A History of Matter, A Matter of History, by
Albert Boime.
The Unruly Life of Woody Allen, by Marion Meade.
The Devil and Sonny Liston, by Nick Tosches.
The Nick Tosches Reader. (an anthology)
All of Lorrie Moore, yet again.
Oil Notes, by Rick Bass.
The Forest for the Trees: An Editor's Advice to Writers, by Betsy
Lerner.
The Letters of Vincent van Gogh.

I used a vacation week and read an inordinate number of books
back-to-back -- saturation bombing of my brain, better than any cool
swimming pool.
It makes me feel human again.
