About me

For the last decade and more, my fascination with taking things apart and putting them back together again has manifested itself in my habitual making, using and working with Internet stuff.

In addition to providing me with a soapbox, this site tracks what I’m up to online using feeds from Flickr, del.icio.us and others.

Species of Spaces and Other Pieces: Georges Perec (Penguin Twentieth Century Classics)

Species of Spaces and Other Pieces: Georges Perec (Penguin Twentieth Century Classics)
Amazon customer review voted ‘most helpful’:
The cleverest man who ever died, bit doesnt make you feel stupid- only more aware of the things and words around you. A great accompanyment to "A Void" and "Life..." and a reasonable introduction to Oulipo.
Oulipo Laboratory: Texts from the Bibliotheque Oulipienne (Atlas Anti-Classics)

Bizarrely, no-one at Amazon's reviewed this, and neither have any Amazon customers. Surely I'm not being that obscure?
Non-places: Introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernity (Cultural Studies)

This was a course book recommended for me to read and is a bit obscure. I need to read it again, maybe even a few times. As with all French philosophers, it is not easy to get into. So it is probably not a mediocre 3 star rating at all, that's just where I am with it at the moment, so I will keep you all updated if I read it again
