Better Than Friday - 91

Hi ya'll, hope you're having as beautiful weather as we're having here.

Just shot a review of Junichiro Tanizaki's tragic-erotic novel 'The Key', that'll be coming soon.

Have a great weekend and thank you so much for your support.

1. A Book about Books I'm looking forward to reading - A Gentle Madness

When first published, A Gentle Madness astounded and delighted readers about the passion and expense a collector is willing to make in pursuit of the book. Written before the emergence of the Internet but newly updated for the 21st Century reader, A Gentle Madness captures that last moment in time when collectors pursued their passions in dusty bookshops and street stalls, high stakes auctions, and the subterfuge worthy of a true bibliomaniac. An adventure among the afflicted, A Gentle Madness is vividly anecdotal and thoroughly researched. Nicholas Basbanes brings an investigative reporter s heart to illuminate collectors past and present in their pursuit of bibliomania. Now a timeless classic of collecting, no lover of books can miss A Gentle Madness.

2. El Diablo en El Ojo

Getting some Beautiful Morphine-Esque Vibes From this track by the band Tindersticks.

Sultry, downtempo, alternative rock.

Apparently, they've worked a lot with French filmmaker Claire Denis.

3. Youtube Channel I'm watching to learn Spanish

Very helpful and informative should anyone out there be learning as well.

4. Sad to hear of the passing of Anita Lane

I had no idea she had such a formative role.

From Her to Eternity and Stranger Than Kindness are two songs of the most top-notch variety.

Here's a great cover by her of Bella Ciao
