My #fridayreads: J R, on account of #OccupyGaddis (though I’m doubtful about being able to read two Gaddis books in one year), the new Complete Poems of Philip Larkin, the current Harper’s, a whiskey & soda, and a beer. Not pictured: an iPod playing Belle & Sebastian on shuffle—a bit out of season, I know, but magically mostly sticking to the happy stuff; the incense-and-soap smell of these Nasturtiums that someone had better put on a salad soon; the balletic interplay of an insectoid-sounding male Rufous Hummingbird with other, less ostentatious hummers of a different gender and/or species; and the feeling of the exposed parts of my skin sticking to everything in this perfect 70°, 44% humidity, summah weather.
