Books You May Have Recommended Thanks

I haven't purchased a new book in months, having mostly survived off of internet reading (for news, debate, and poetry). But because of an influx of recommendations, I spent some savings on the following books:

Wiki Wiki and What I read

I recently updated the Wiki listings for both Benshi and Neo-Benshi. 

I added a section to "Benshi" entitled "New Benshi Practice(s)." I was surprised not to have found more information pertaining to contemporary practices of live film narration. Eventually, I'd like to begin posting individual pages for each new Movietelling tradition I stumble upon. 

On today's to & from work subway commute, I began to read Today I Wrote Nothing, the selected writings of Daniil Kharms. And several weeks ago I read Ideals Clearance by Henry Parland. These books have cleansed my palate and shocked my imagination. Soon, I think I'll have to write something specific about Kharms.
