Weekly digest (7/15/11)

Whoah, middle of July already? Seems like even when you don’t have three months off, summer seems to fly by.

  • Read it. Think I found this via a “Best books for summer” list, but Jeanette Winterson’s The Stone Gods is both lovely and post-apocalyptic. It reminded me of the stellar Cloud Atlas, by David Mitchell (which if you haven’t read…. !).
  •  Saw it. More to say later, but I’m Not There is really, really good. I don’t think a better movie about Bob Dylan could have been made.
  • Heard it. Tom Waits bootleg from the late 1970s (via Aquarium Drunkard).
