Explanations/Opinions below the cut:

Ok so I have several reading lists/stacks that I rotate through: my to-read spreadsheet (which has almost 300 titles listed in chronological order by date added, with the oldest being from 8/22/2014), my to-read bookcase/nightstand (which holds ~50 books I’ve acquired over the past few years but haven’t yet read), a stack of oversized unreads that don’t fit on the nightstand shelves (this gets its own list bc I need to read them and find a permanent home for them before the stack gets too tall), and “interruptions” (books that override the list order bc I didn’t want to wait to read them, for whatever reason).

Maybe it’s weird that I’m so attached to reading things “in order”? Idk. I’ve always been like this. It’s only a mild compulsion – obviously, I am perfectly capable of ignoring what’s supposed to be next on the list, in favor of reading something that catches my interest more strongly in the moment, but in general, I like to read things either in the order I added them to the list, or the order I personally acquired a physical copy (if I went by the list only, I’d be drowning in unread books [yay, college town thrift stores], so I gotta stay on top of that pile pretty regularly). So that is why I am often reading things that I first became aware of/added to my list nearly 10 years ago. Sometimes this practice results in feelings like, “Dang, I wish I would’ve actually read this 10 years ago,” but also sometimes, “WOW, I’m so glad I’m reading this RIGHT NOW, as opposed to 10 years ago when I first heard about it!”

I think my favorites this year were Mariette in Ecstasy; Other Voices, Other Rooms; Crapalachia; and Speak, Memory.

Mild disappointments were the essay collections by Leslie Jamison and Meghan Daum, two authors I’m pretty sure I discovered via popular and relateable quotes reblogged on tumblr ca. 2014, but the collections taken as a whole just had too many moments of cringe – casual classism, arrogant self-absorption, and other annoying and unrelateable qualities typical of privileged 20-something writers (this tone definitely appealed to me when I was a naïve and melodramatic snotty 20-something, so there’s that).

As a kind of memorial, Rachael and I read David’s three favorite books: The Stars My Destination, Mother Night, and American Gods. In all the time I knew him, including all the times we used to sit on the porch together, reading quietly while he drank whiskey, I never thought to ask him his favorites. I kept looking for pieces of him in the stories, wondering what lines stood out, what made a book memorable, what did it say about him that these were his favorites.

Being an elder Millennial, I’m in the stage of nostalgically re-acquiring important artifacts from my childhood, so that’s why there are some children’s books on my list. Where’s Waldo? was one of the most coveted books in my grade-school library! There was always a list of people waiting to check it out, but usually, whoever actually had the book that week would let the other kids gather around and look together.

My Heart Is a Chainsaw was a recommendation from my goth teenaged birthdaughter <3 which I probably read too much personal symbolism into but maybe not!

I thought John Updike was overrated, lol.

Favorite photography book: W. Eugene Smith’s Dream Street. His pictures made me so homesick, and it was wild because he took them from 1955-1957 but they still really, REALLY, to me, looked like the Pittsburgh of my ‘80s/’90s memories (bc Pittsburgh doesn’t change, and also the “idea” or “brand” of Pittsburgh in the ‘80s/’90s was ofc consciously referencing its industrial working-class past). He took over 10,000 photos but was never able to “finish” the project to his intense, obsessive standards of perfection (I KNOW THAT FEEL) and felt it failed to capture the multifaceted essence of the city. WELL, not in my opinion at least!

PS I'm moonmoth on LibraryThing.

Storia Di Musica #253 . AA.VV. - I’M Not There (O.S.T.), 2007

Bob Dylan, che è stato anche attore (14 film come attore protagonista o co-protagonista), non concesse mai la sua autorizzazione per un film biografico su di lui. Con una unica, spettacolare eccezione: Todd Haynes, creativo cineasta canadese, che ha grande passione per la musica nei suoi film (cito per esempio Velvet Goldmine sul mondo glam, o un documentario sui Velvet Underground uscito nel 2021), ha il suo placet per un film su di lui, I’M Not There, che esce nel 2007. Dove per tutta la pellicola non viene mai citato Bob Dylan per nome, ma dove è rappresentato da 6 storie potenti e profonde da 6 personaggi diversi, ognuno a raccontare un aspetto del Dylan leggenda: il Poeta Arthur Rimbaud, il Profeta Jack Rollins / Padre John, il fuorilegge Billy McCarty, il falso Woody Guthrie, il "martire del rock and roll " Jude Quinn e la "stella elettrica" Robbie Clark. Il cast è stellare: Marcus Carl Franklin, 11 anni, in una prova magistrale per Guthrie, ossessione adolescenziale di Dylan; Christian Bale come Jack Rollins\Padre John, per il primo Dylan acustico e folksinger; Cate Blanchett come Jude Quinn, che rappresenta il Dylan della svolta elettrica ‘65-’66, accusato di tradire lo spirito della musica folk, per questo “martire”; Richard Gere è il Dylan che interpreta Billy The Kid nello storico film di Sam Peckinpah Pat Garrett E Billy Kid, e del ritorno alla musica country e folk; Heath Ledger è il Dylan febbrile e martoriato dalla fine del suo matrimonio con Sara di Blood On The Tracks; Ben Whishaw è un Rimbaud decadente e immaginifico, e Dylan non ha mai nascosto il suo amore per la poesia del grande francese. Il film ebbe grande eco, e vinse a Venezia il Premio Speciale della Giuria (presieduta dal regista cinese Zhang Yimou) e la Coppa Volpi per la miglior interpretazione femminile andata a Cate Blanchett (il quale premio fu ritirato, data l'assenza dell'attrice, da Heath Ledger, in una delle sue ultime apparizioni pubbliche prima della morte avvenuta il 22 gennaio 2008). Haynes pensa ad una colonna sonora degna di tale progetto, chiamando una serie di artisti a reinterpretare il catalogo dylaniano, pescando in alcuni dei momenti non solo più classici, ma anche minori della sua lunghissima carriera. Il materiale è così tanto che viene utilizzato solo in parte per il film e viene raccolto in una colonna sonora da 2 cd, che esce con lo stesso titolo del film. I’m Not There è infatti un’altra perla di quel tesoro infinito che furono i Basement Tapes e qui è presentata in due versioni: la prima dei Sonic Youth, quella di Dylan chiude il secondo disco quasi a dire che beffardamente che “lui non sta davvero là”. In mezzo altri 32 brani, dove amici ed estimatori prendono e reinterpretano, la maggior parte in modo interessante, il catalogo di capolavori. Parto subito dal dire che si poteva fare meglio sulla versione che Charlotte Gainsbourg fa di Just Like A Woman (uno dei massimi di Dylan), per il resto il disco è pieno di gioiellini, soprattutto quelli che riscoprono brani del Dylan minore: tra questi, emozionante sono le riprese di Goin' To Acapulco di Jim James e i fantastici Calexico (da The Basement Tapes,1975), che con il loro tocco psichedelico-tex-mex sono favolosi, anche in Dark Eyes con gli Iron & Wine (brano dal disco Empire Burlesque,1985). Molti dei brani sono suonati dalla Million Dollar Bashers, supergruppo che prende il nome dal titolo di una canzone di Dylan - The Million Dollar Bash - composto da Lee Ranaldo e Steve Shelley degli Sonic Youth, il chitarrista Nels Cline degli Wilco, la chitarra magica di Tom Verlaine, Tony Garnier, bassista di fiducia di Dylan, il chitarrista Smokey Hormel e il tastierista John Medeski. Ci sono prove di classe di grandi vecchi: One More Cup Of Coffee di Roger McGuinn con i Calexico, Tombstone Blues cantata da Richie Havens, Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues reinterpretata dal grande Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Senor (Tales of Yankee Power) da Willie Nelson (da Street Legal, del 1978, uno dei primi dischi del Dylan convertitosi al cristianesimo).  Caratteristiche sono le riletture mariachi dei Los Lobos di Billy 1, dalla colonna sonora di Pat Garret,  I Wanna Be Your Lover dei Yo La Tengo (questa presa da Biograph, disco del 1985). Non mancano i super classici: All Along The Watchtower cantata da Eddie Vedder con i Millon Dollar Bashes, The Times They Are a Changin' da Mason Jennings, Highway 61 Revisited cantata da Karen O degli Yeah Yeah Yeahs con i Million Dollar Bashers, Simple Twist Of Fate cantata da Jeff Tweedy. Da ricordare una tenebrosa Man In The Long Black Coat di Mark Lanegan, brano tratto da Oh Mercy! del 1989 e la bella ripresa di The Wicked Messenger dei The Black Keys. Vennero scelti anche due brani particolari all’epoca: Can't Leave Her Behind, registrato incompleto su nastro e in video nel maggio 1966 in una stanza di hotel durante la mitica tournée nel Regno Unito di quell’anno, riarrangiata in parte e cantata da Stephen Malkmus & The Million Dollar Bashers ; Mama, You've Been on My Mind / A Fraction of Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie, qui uniti insieme da Jack Johnson, erano usciti separatamente nel primo volume della Bootleg Series (1991), Vale l’ascolto anche You Ain't Goin' Nowhere di Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová, che in due si chiamano The Swell Season, i quali nel 2008 vinceranno l’Oscar per la miglior canzone originale, Falling Slowly tratta dal film Once. Rimane un tentativo unico e davvero interessante di carpire l’essenza di Dylan, da sempre misteriosa e sfuggente, il quale nel brano omonimo dice: Sì, credo che sia giusto, oh, nell’animo lo credo\mi hanno detto, come ho detto io, quando prima portavo io il peso del delitto\quando lei è tutto quello che le hai detto, come ho detto, tira dritto\vorrei essere lì ad aiutarla ma non ci sono, me ne sono andato.

I like being me. And I need nobody to make me somebody. Louis L'Amour (1908-1988, American Western author) SELF-APPROVAL What do we call love, hate, charity, revenge, humanity, forgiveness? Different results of the master impulse, the necessity of securing one's self-approval.

Debbie Ford I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards becoming a champion. Billie Jean King (1943-, American tennis player) The unexamined life is not worth living.

All ways, always. Alexandra Elle I feel the capacity to care is the thing which gives life its deepest significance. Pablo Casals Care is a state in which something does matter; it is the source of human tenderness. Rollo May Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin, as self-neglecting. William Shakespeare If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete. Jack Kornfield SELF-CONCEPT The term self-concept is a general term used to refer to how someone thinks about, evaluates or perceives themselves. To be aware of oneself is to have a concept of oneself.

Self-words quotes and aphorisms SELF-CONFIDENCE Creativity means believing you have greatness. Wayne Dyer (1940-, American psychotherapist, author, lecturer) The confidence we have in ourselves arises in a great measure from that which we have in others. Francois De La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680, French classical writer) One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to self-confidence is preparation. Arthur Ashe (1943-1993, African-American tennis player) Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained. Madame Marie Curie (1867-1934, Polish-born French physicist) SELF-CONFLICT Whatever you condemn, you have done yourself. Georg Groddeck It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you're not comfortable within yourself, you can't be comfortable with others. Sidney J. Harris (1917-, American journalist) It isn't the things that happen to us, it's the things we think are going to happen to us that drive us almost crazy. Kathleen Norris (1880-1966, American novelist) A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time. When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, The one I feed the most. On Other Peoples Expectations: The only man who behaved sensibly was my tailor; he took my measurement anew every time he saw me, while all the rest went on with their old measurements and expected them to fit me. George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950, Irish-born British dramatist) SELF-CONSTRAINT Don't be curious of matters that don't concern you; never speak of them, and don't ask about them. St. Teresa of Avila Everybody's business is nobody's business, and nobody's business is my business. Clara Barton (1821-1912, American humanitarian) I listen and give input only if somebody asks. Barbara Bush (1925-, American First Lady, wife of George H. Bush) Too often in ironing out trouble someone gets scorched. Marcelene Cox (American writer) When you borrow trouble you give your peace of mind as security. Myrtle Reed SELF-CONTROL A little kingdom I possess, where thoughts and feelings dwell; And very hard the task I find of governing it well. Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888, American author) If a man doesn't delight in himself and the force in him and feel that he and it are wonders, how is all life to become important to him? Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941 American writer) I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self. Aristotle (BC 384-322, Greek philosopher) Prudent, cautious self-control, is wisdom's root. Robert Burns (1759-1796, Scottish poet) I never prod my nose into other man's porridge. Miguel De Cervantes (1547-1616, Spanish novelist, dramatist, poet) He who conquers himself is the mightiest warrior. Confucius (BC 551-479, Chinese ethical teacher, philosopher) The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts. Charles Darwin (1809-1882, British naturalist) Not to have control over the senses is like sailing in a rudderless ship, bound to break to pieces on coming in contact with the very first rock. Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948, Indian political, spiritual leader) We improve ourselves by victories over ourselves. There must be contest, and we must win. Edward Gibbon (1737-1794, British historian) It is as proper to have pride in oneself as it is ridiculous to show it to others. Francois De La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680, French classical writer) He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still. Lao-Tzu (BC 600-?, Chinese philosopher, founder of Taoism) He that would govern others, first should be the master of himself. Philip Massinger (1583-1640, British dramatist) He who cannot obey himself will be commanded. That is the nature of living creatures. Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900, German philosopher) The first and best victory is to conquer self. To be conquered by self is, of all things, the most shameful and objectionable. Plato (BC 427?-347?, Greek philosopher) To enjoy freedom we have to control ourselves.

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900, German philosopher) The worst thing you can do is start slow, or con yourself into thinking that you can take your time getting into a match. The curtain is up so you've got to perform. Jack Kramer (1918-, American basketball player) I suppose I have a highly developed capacity for self-delusion, so it's no problem for me to believe that I'm somebody else. Daniel Day-Lewis (1958-, British-born American actor) SELF-DENIAL Self-denial is painful for a moment, but very agreeable in the end. Jane Taylor Few men make themselves masters of the things they write or speak. John Selden (1584-1654, British jurist, statesman) Self-denial is not a virtue, it is only the effect of prudence on rascality. George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950, Irish-born British dramatist) Self-denial is indispensable to a strong character, and the highest kind comes from a religious stock. Theodore Parker (1810-1860, American minister) The same people who can deny others everything are famous for refusing themselves nothing. Leigh Hunt (1784-1859, British poet, essayist) Every extreme attitude is a fight from the self. Eric Hoffer (1902-1983, American author, philosopher) SELF-DETERMINATION It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through. Zig Ziglar (1926-, American sales trainer, author, motivational speaker) I will always stay hungry, never satisfied with current accomplishments. Arnold Schwarzenegger (1947-, Austrian-born American actor, author, director, restaurateur) My will shall shape my future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me, or I can be lost in a maze. My choice, my responsibility, win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny. Elaine Maxwell

Ida Tarbell If someone transports dung and does not eat it, it should not be concluded that he is an honest person. Taiwanese Proverb If you can command yourself, you can command the world. Chinese Proverb (Sayings of Chinese origin) If you are willing to discipline yourself, the physical universe won't need to discipline you. Leonard Orr Not being able to govern events, I govern myself, and apply myself to them if they will not apply themselves to me. Michel Eyquem De Montaigne (1533-1592, French philosopher, essayist) He who conquers others is strong. He who conquers himself is mighty. Lao-Tzu (BC 600-?, Chinese philosopher, founder of Taoism) Being professional in whatever you do is important. Talent alone is not enough. Kathy Ireland (1963-, American model) Self discipline is when your conscience tells you to do something and you don't talk back. W. K. Hope You must have discipline to have fun. Julia Child (1912-2004, American gourmet cook, author, and television personality) SELF-DISCORVERY No one is more interesting to anybody than is that mysterious character we all call me, which is why self-liberation, self-actualization, self-transcendence, etc., are the most exciting games in town. Robert Wilson (1941-, American theater director, designer) When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves. William A. Ward We discover in ourselves what others hide from us, and we recognize in others what we hide from ourselves. Luc de Clapiers de Vauvenargues Some people say they haven't yet found themselves. But the self is not something one finds; it is something one creates. Thomas Szasz (1920-, American psychiatrist) People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and they pass themselves by without wondering. St. Augustine (354-430, Numidian-born bishop of Hippo, theologian) Lose yourself wholly; and the more you lose, the more you will find. St. Catherine of Siena I think somehow we learn who we really are and then we live with that decision. Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962, American First Lady, columnist, lecturer, humanitarian) Everything changes when you change. Jim Rohn (American businessman, author, speaker, philosopher) The person who God shows a treasure to must dig it out himself. Czechoslovakian Proverb (Sayings of Czech origin) One must know oneself. If this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better. Blaise Pascal (1623-1662, French scientist, religious philosopher) No thinker's thoughts give me as much pleasure as my own. Of course, this does not prove anything in their favor; but on the other hand, I would be foolish to neglect fruits that are tasteful just because they grow on my own tree. Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900, German philosopher) No one has ever learned fully to know themselves. Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749-1832, German poet, dramatist, novelist) Look into the depths of your own soul and learn first to know yourself, then you will understand why this illness was bound to come upon you and perhaps you will thenceforth avoid falling ill. Sigmund Freud (1856-1939, Austrian physician, founder of Psychoanalysis) Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle. Lewis Carroll (1832-1898, British writer, mathematician) Let's dare to be ourselves, for we do that better than anyone else. Shirley Briggs SELF-DOUBT Our self-conceit sustains, and always must sustain us. Samuel Butler (1612-1680, British poet, satirist) SELF-EDUCATION People think of education as something that they can finish. Isaac Asimov School can provide you an education and university can give you a culture, but self-knowledge and self-learning can help you to make a fortune. Carl William Brown Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is. The only function of a school is to make self-education easier; failing that, it does nothing. Isaac Asimov The first thing a student should understand to have success is that of becoming a self-taught man. Carl William Brown Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence. Robert Frost SELF-ESTEEM SELF-ESTEEM controls PERFORMANCE/REALITY which stimulate SELF-TALK which reinforces SELF-ESTEEM. This cycle can work positively or negatively and is greatly influenced by the self-talk. (I knew I wasn't good at..., next time I'll practice and do better! Author Unknown All the extraordinary men I have known were extraordinary in their own estimation. Woodrow T. Wilson (1856-1924, American President (28th)) Blessed are they who heal us of self-despising. Of all services which can be done to man, I know of none more precious. Read the full article
