The Catcher In The Rye

Hoje vi o artigo na dot dot dot 8 sobre o blurb daquelas reviews manhosas que aparecem nas contra-capas dos livros. É super cómico a cena de ele ter passado horas na Barnes and Noble a apontar os blurbs todos, e chegar à conclusão que o The Catcher In The Rye é a obra mais referenciada. Nem me lembro de ouvir falar deste livro do S.D. Salinger (ups), nem do tal antihero Holden Caulfield... Mas pronto, a ideia dele para o projecto foi super naice!

Reading: A Social-physiological Outline

"The enumeration which follows is an outline typology of the situations in which we read; it doesn't answer merely to the pleasures of enumerating. I fancy it might prefigure a global description of the activities that go on in towns today. Into the intricate network of our daily rhythms are everywhere inserted odd moments, scraps and intervals of reading time. It is as if, the imperatives of the timetable having expelled us from our own lives, we were remembering the days when, as children, we spent ours Thursday afternoons sprawled on a bed in the company of the three musketeers or the children of Captain Grant, and reading had come to slide surreptitiously into the fissures and interstices of our adult lives."

eheh, alguem devia fazer um reader sobre reading

The Bed

"It was lying down on my bed that I read Twenty Years After, The Mysterious Island and Jerry on the Island. The bed became a trapper's cabin, or a lifeboat on a raging ocean, or a baobab three theatened by fire, a tent erected in the desert, or a propitious crevice that my enemies passed within inches of, unavailingly."

naice :)
