I just added it manually. With a picture, even. That should delineate for you precisely how sad I am.

I truly love Musil - relentless turbulent philosophizing! snooty social sarcasm! something sort of like incest! - although I haven't read him for a while and don't have a great grasp on how much of that affection should, for the sake of precision, be attributed to his leading role in my discovery of my own private modernism, following a bog-standard miseducation that involved way too much Joyce and some unpleasant recurring outbreaks of Jean Rhys. Maybe I should get to reading Qualities again soonish.

My poor library, meanwhile, is mostly scavenged from thrift stores, dumpsters, and abandoned frat houses, and is thus a little self-conscious and stammeringly thankful for the compliment.

Hola, nasreddin! Too bad your litmag doesn't have an ISBN number; otherwise I would've added it.

Yes, I am a sad, sad man.

Wow, that sounds great -- thanks for the tip, and I'll definitely keep an eye out for it!
