What I read last month:
The Sound of Utopia: Musicians in the Time of Stalin, Michel Krielaars. About musicians and composers who faced persecution in the Soviet Union. I especially liked the chapter on Prokofiev.
Keys to a Successful Retirement: Staying Happy, Active, and Productive in Your Retired Years, Fritz Gilbert. Some good ideas.
Salt, Adam Roberts. First novel by a British writer I have gotten interested in. Roberts is consistently a good read.
The Sex Magicians, Robert Anton Williams. A re-read to participate in the online reading group at the Jechidah blog.
The Cambridge Companion to Epicureanism, James Warren editor. A good collection of essays. I've now read 14 books on Epicureanism.
The Book of Forbidden Words: A Liberated Dictionary of Improper English, Robert Anton Wilson. An easy read, I learned some things. Not a core RAW book for me.
What Mark Brown read last month:
Solaris by Stanislaw Lem 8/2
Beyond Apollo by Barry N. Malzberg 8/8
The Jonah Kit by Ian Watson 8/16
The Illuminati Papers by Robert Anton Wilson 8/20
Mythologies by Roland Barthes 8/21
The Deathworld Trilogy by Harry Harrison 8/31
I'm busy reading classic science fiction this month as a judge for the Prometheus Hall of Fame award, so my list next month will look more like Mark's.
