What we hoard
When Graham finds a stash of biblical notes in Legacy of a Pack Rat, I didnt realise the significance not knowing that Billy Graham was an evangelist.

What element of myth is picked from the myth orchard for your wreath, brocade?

Blunderbuss in Message from a cloud of flies: On Distraction
I keep the patio door open to let the fresh air, summer light, dust, bumble bee, flies, black stranger cat with green eyes in.
The fly is insistent in doing certain number of rotations and revolutions before getting out.
Once in a while, starlings hop <2ft into the air.

The fountain of western Classics
Dont judge the book by its cover
All things Shining
Bringing out the truth of a cliche was one of Wallace's writing principle. This is something solid about David Wallace. The more I come across this writer, the more he gets shrouded. But for now, authors Hubert Dreyfus and Sean Dorrance Kelly, have bottled good wine in bad bottle.
After reading 'David Foster Wallace's Nihilism' chapter, I am left wondering making sense of 'no constraints whatsoever to the meaning we can construct for our experiences'. The text leading to puzzles likes this skillfully ties the Luther's obsessive confession disorder to Wallace's agonizing writer self. Wallace and Elizabeth Gilbert are shown as whats right with the literature world in their works dealing with forging ahead instead of portraying whats wrong with the past. This being common, their philosophies are shown different. Wallace with lack of 'sacred' in his dictionary, experiencing an unbearable quality(pain) in the opposite(bliss) and Gilbert seeing an artist as a medium are pitted as two opposites. A middle ground is subject of the concluding chapter.
Many book characters walk in and out to prove the author's points regarding God perceived by other thinkers in their works.
In the third chapter, the authors go into movie snippets or summaries to illustrate their line of thought on fate and meaning in life. The reader can judge Homer's morals and learn of the Roman Fortuna (with no prejudice) and Grecian concept of lady luck smiling on the chosen.
People or book characters who know what they are all about.
David Foster Wallace and Elizabeth Gilbert about how to go forward in life than duplicate the dark of life in their writing.
Obsessive confuser Martin Luther.
Wallace's non-belief in God and self as perpetrator and Gilbert's self view as a medium for art are at odds.

Klezmer in Running the books
I didnt try to decpher the cover, thinking it to be some letter combinations. They are date stamps of book returns to a library.
The author ran in laser tag. I move so cautiously trying not to get tagged.
The prison that produced Malcolm X housed Whitery Bulger too.
