dennett's new book breaking the spell arrived this friday, and is forcing me to push aside a large pile of other books being read, skimmed, or waiting their turn for one or the other. also arrived: the first seriously amateurish dis-missive, the unbearable brightness of being right by rupert sheldrake [see eg. morphic resonance] in globe and mail's book reviews. [a strange and amusing title was wasted by the wet noodle review; sheldrake is too bothered by the new term chosen to describe us nonbelievers]
back to reading.
musical recommendation in between chapters: joe henderson, inner urge, blue note, rvg edition. especially el barrio is rarely matched in its lyrical power. [miles davis's solea from sketches of spain comes to mind]

indeed. a very poor review[er] choice for globe. alas i expect we'll see more drive-by penned reviews of this book. [i am likely to read it <em>twice</em> before attempting to even summarize this...]
