Hi everyone. I thought I'd take advantage of the blog to post the titles of books that I've read/am reading, which were also mentioned in Katherine Hayles article (since she mentioned so many books and authors). My Cousin, My Gastroenterologist, by Mark Leyner is the book that she quotes a large portion of.
Hayle also mentioned Gabriel García Márquez (or maybe she didn't, I don't remember), but I started reading One Hundred Years of Solitude after reading her article, so she and Marquez are now eternally linked in my mind.
I don't have physical copies to lend out, but I do have digital copies that, with David's permission, I guess I could send to anyone interested.

Marquez is top shelf, yo. But check out Hopscotch by Cortazar; shit is crazy. You read it once linearly through to chapter 72 or something, and then you can read it again completely out of numerical order and according to a list he provides in the preface. Story's not half bad either.
This Calvino book (if on a winter's night a traveller) is sort of like that, but more reflexive.
Do these formatting choices get a little dogmatic? I don't know...maybe I'll go back to tom clancy.
