PBR Logo. About my libraryI have a penchant for pretty books. Being in design and art and architecture, I often have need for visual reference books. This causes problems in trying to shelve my books because most of them are deeper than a standard bookcase. It wasn't until Fall of 2006 that I really started buying a lot of books to "read" because I started riding the bus to work, and it allowed me over an hour of reading time per day.

It's a cookbook filled with recipes from old timers in a nursing home in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Along with the obligatory jello desserts there are also directions on how to do things like cook a porcupine over an open fire.

I thought it was interesting the paragraph or two where you talk about Carse's treatment of adultery. There were some comments I wanted to work into my review on that subject, but it didn't really fit anywhere. I guess in Carse's loopy imagination, adultery isn't supposed to bother the infinite player, because of his/her radical awareness that his finite role as a husband, or her finite role as a wife, can be put on or taken off at will. Hence free love, I guess. But to me, that argument just shows how far out Carse has wandered. I hadn't thought of it in these terms, but Carse's infinite player, if there could be one, would be something like an exemplar of those "blank slate" theories of mind that keep getting debunked. Sexual jealousy and the concepts of monogamy and adultery are just part and parcel to the human condition; they can't be shrugged off the way that Carse imagines that they can.
Anyway, sorry to indulge in a somewhat long-winded rant. Thanks for stopping by my profile.
