The Information

Martin Amis
Ethan IversonEthan Iverson

I read four Martin Amis books: SUCCESS, THE INFORMATION, NIGHT TRAIN, and THE WAR AGAINST CLICHÉ. I can recall them all quite clearly, which is hardly the case of all the books I read in my twenties. Looking at the obits, I'm tempted to go back and refresh the set.

The Rest Is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century

Alex Ross
Ethan IversonEthan Iverson

If I modeled my book on anything it would be Ross's THE REST IS NOISE. Ross whittled the final down to half the size of the original draft, and it is still a big book. In casual conversation, I brought up Charles Griffes. Alex looked sad. "I had to cut Griffes," he said.

Conversations with Friends

Sally Rooney
Ethan IversonEthan Iverson

“My ego had always been an issue. I knew that intellectual attainment was morally neutral at best, but when bad things happened to me I made myself feel better by thinking about how smart I was.” — Sally Rooney, CONVERSATIONS WITH FRIENDS (great book!)

Jack Miles
Ethan IversonEthan Iverson

Jack also embraced rock music, which is one reasons why he was perfect for Miles Davis. A famous place to hear to his driving but lazy big beat is "God Bless the Child" with Jarrett. Good video: https://t.co/rOYQa87ufx

Classical Style: Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven (Expanded)

Charles Rosen
Ethan IversonEthan Iverson

In THE CLASSICAL STYLE, Charles Rosen looks at two idiosyncratic rondos of Beethoven and Schubert, and concludes that Schubert copied Beethoven in every detail -- except that no one notices or cares, and, indeed, that the Schubert is the greater work

Peanuts: A Charlie Brown Christmas Wooden Collectible Set

Charles M. Schulz
Ethan IversonEthan Iverson

Charles M. Schulz, born on this day 100 years ago. PEANUTS meant a lot to me, partially because I could identify equally with the socially-awkward Charlie Brown and the piano-driven Schroder.
