Packing

Not much time to write tonight. Packing up my office crap to move to the new office tomorrow. Taking all the business books, plus a few essentials from my former life:

• Pretty much all of Wittgenstein: Tractatus, Blue and Brown Books, Culture and Value, the Philosophical Investigations
• John Donne
• Wallace Stevens
• Volume 1 of Pushkin's Trekhtomnik, including all the early verse
• William Carlos Williams
• Alfred Jarry, Ubu Roi
  
• Ian Watt's Rise of the Novel
• Washington Irving stories
• Gogol stories
• Denis de Rougemont, Love in the Western World
• My dissertation

Not that I intend to read any of these, except for the occasional dip into the poetry and perhaps Jarry, it's just good to look at the spines and remember what's in there. Like a mental sorbet.

Listening to stuff I got off of Napster in 2001. Still good.
