DeWitt Dark Side Shoplifter eFuck eYourMachine Black Breath
1. Fantastic essay from Helen DeWitt on habit and death @ The Incongruous Quarterly [via Bookslut, who just posted their 99th issue, and includes my interview with Adam Robinson].
2. This dude remade Dark Side of the Moon as if it had been written 8-bit for the Nintendo.
3. A list of the most stolen books at McNally Jackson at the Awl.
4. I kind of love that certain coffee shops are banning eReaders from their premises.
5. Just in case you happen to be looking for some solid new satanic thrash, Black Breath’s Heavy Breathing is helping me get busy this week.

I really like Moon8. It is great music to run in the background while you type around or something. My favorite part of it now is that my fiance heard the first maybe five seconds from a room over and was like, Is that Dark Side?
“I never thought Paul Auster was five-finger discount stuff.” I thought it was pretty well known that Auster is the top most stolen author. The question is why. His appeal to the criminal element seems less intuitive than that of Burroughs, Bukowski, Kerouac, Hunter Thompson, and Jim Thompson, whose books along with Auster’s a number of NYC stores place up front or even behind the counter for safekeeping.
great end quote to the stealing article.
