Via Rodcorp again, two essays by Geoff Dyer for LA Weekly: One on Memento and forgetting, and one on a depressingly familiar condition he calls "reader's block". (He offers a happy ending, but I remain unconvinced.)

I'm actually reading more this year (two books a month, not including comics and Go books), and that's due to my book club and my stubborn refusal to not read the books I choose during that time, so I'm alternating. Trouble is, I can't read that fast (or, I just don't dedicate enough time per day), so I end up cramming at the end of the month. Which reminds me, I should write a journal entry for the last book club. But I digress.

I got a couple of paragraphs into that article, then started skimming, then just cam back here and started chatting. (Not to mention that I interrupted my own freaking post to check to see if anything new had popped up. And that, since, that article popped up an ad, I got stuck finishing an article I had in another window.) Yes. Interrupt-driven, I am.
