Some intersting stuff in this, esp argument that knowing litt. linkages >> actually reading the suff. A lot of it could also be of interests to ILMers re. music.

I was given this as a gift. Of course, I have not yet read it.

hah funny - I was thinking of one of your pieces about music overload while reading this.

four years pass...

I've read a few chapters of this, and I'd like to talk about it. Ned, did you ever read it?

C by the way. Since it makes me feel better about judging things I haven't read/seen/listened to, including most of the book itself.

In fact I'm worried that if I read all of it I might somehow be missing the point
