6/12: reading

...snippets from Absence of Clutter by Paul Stephens, which I just received today.  Stephens quotes "The New Art of Making Books" by Ulises Carrión, so I went and read it (here)--which made me want to say "yes!" out loud a lot.  (Though in other places I wouldn't go as far as Carrión does; there are still things I love about the "old art" of literature.)
