Finished two today: "What is Tao?" by Alan Watts and "The Medium is the Massage" by Marshall McLuhan and Quentin Fiore. The former was a short overview exactly as the title explains. Nothing too surprising if you've read the Tao Te Ching. But the latter is a trip. It's kind of like reading through an issue of AdBusters, but instead of pseudo-anti-capitalism, the content was inspired by Ted Kaczynski and Edward Bernays. "The Medium is the Massage" was originally published in 1967, but the style and topics seem much more contemporary. Definitely ahead of its time. You can find a PDF version of it here.

Taking sci-fi break with a fantasy crime book...moon over Soho...described as an adult harry potter mixed with mike hammer style crime noir with lots of violence and sex...something is biting off mens dicks and jazz musicians are being magically murdered by another someone or something and it's all connected. Fun read.

I tried Houellebecq and it didn't click.
That happens sometimes. Wasn't the right time for my mood.
Still have several books of his I haven't bothered to start.

Bowden has a thing on Lovecraft that's probably worth checking out. Another layer of right fringe strangeness for the mythos.
