re-read confedracy of dunces for the first time since i was a teen. i thought it was funny then, still do, although maybe not as brilliant as i used to think because it does drag on a bit but it's still funny.

it is crazy how similar ignatius is to online nerds of the 21st century though. it's basically what if a guy with terminal posting disease lived in an era where he could not post. so he ends up making a spectacle of himself on the streets.

last brain book i read was brain rules by john medina

it was about exercise, survival, wiring, attention, short-term memory, long-term memory, sleep, stress, multisensory perception, vision, gender and exploration

quite interesting stuff

i'll give this a look. i've read a few books which sound like this on the surface but have ended up being self-help books which really offer nothing but platitudes and anecdotes, but since you say it's interesting stuff and i am interested in this kind of thing i'll give it a go.

so many times this year i've left books half-finished because something completely different distracted me, only to then get distracted from that and move on again. i'm not really sure if it is a problem that this is becoming a habit. the books aren't even boring most of the time i just think ehhh had enough of this subject/story, what else. i suppose i can always return to them when i feel like it. the memory of what came before tends to re-emerge quickly so books aren't too bad to pick back up even months later.
