I just finished Raymond Chandler's THE LONG GOODBYE, which was very good and made me wonder what on earth Robert Altman thought he was doing when he made that film.

I picked up David Foster Wallace's INFINITE JEST, which I have already read 4 times. I don't know if I'll get all the way through it, but it has been on my mind a lot lately.

RED HARVEST by Dashiell Hammett

Next up --

Probably THE THREE STIGMATA OF PALMER ELDRITCH, or maybe that new translation of Dumas' THE THREE MUSKETEERS by Richard Pevear.

an entertaining read but nothing more.

Finishing HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX. Enjoying it for the most part, a bit long and ungainly. I'm surprised at how sanitized the movie was in comparison with the book.

Next up: some Philip K. Dick, probably.
