Karmic Traces: 1993-1999
Eliot Weinberger
"Sanskrit poetics applied the theory of karmic traces to the act of reading. One responds to a poem because it speaks directly to one's experience, but that experience need not have occurred in this life." - Eliot Weinberger

The Baron in the Trees
Italo Calvino
I remember one transatlantic flight at 22 when I read Heart of Darkness & The Baron in the Trees in one go, and the impression of the reading experience proved stronger than any inconveniences of air travel (which of course is usually a hassle). https://t.co/r6AAkv9YPM

Counterfeiters: An Historical Comedy
Hugh Kenner
Educating myself on the latest tech trends, i.e., reading Hugh Kenner's 1968 book The Counterfeiters "Swift's age was groping toward a principle familiar to ours, that you can be said to understand a process thoroughly if you know how to instruct a machine to carry it out" https://t.co/VWLsqtqZxR
