I am slowly plugging away at this book. I really like it, but it requires full-brain concentration, which I have little of. It's great, though!

This book is such a great idea, and so far so well executed.

Hmm....I don't know if this book is really going to work for me. Middle-aged white male protagonists are not my bag, especially ones that lust after barely legal women.

I once remarked in grad school that an essay's argument fell apart toward the end. A friend asked, "Did it, or did you stop paying attention?" Zing! I am not sure if Lessig started remixing his argument in the second half of the book, but I definitely started drifting.

Same argument over and over again. I got it, LL.

Stop everything and read this right now. Fucking amazing.

and by "like", I of course mean "write". Oops.

Turn of the Screw--did he really like this? It's so...fun! This can't be the same guy.

Okay, I think I will skip ahead to Turn of the Screw and consider my education in the short works of Henry James complete.

Hey, Aspern Papers is really good. That is all.

Kind of liked Washington Square. Definitely into Aspern Papers.

Daisy Miller was alright, now I am reading Washing Square and I keep confusing it with the Age of Innocence and thinking of Daniel Day-Lewis and Winona Ryder as the characters, which is screwing things up.

Ashamed to say i have never read James. I am reading Daisy Miller first. Because it's the first one in the book.
