Where is that picture from? It reminds me of the tommy bologna (was that it?) doodle on the wall of some bubble tea shop on Guadalupe.

I'm currently reading Bryan's recommendation: We, by Zamiatin. Here's an interesting excerpt, for possible discussion/dissection/general pique-ing of interest:

"In our superficial life, every formula, every equation, corresponds to the curve of a solid. We have never seen the curve or solid corresponding to my square root minus one. The horrifying part of the situation is that there exist such curves or solids. Unseen by us, they do exist, they must, inevitably; for in mathematics, as on a screen, strange, sharp shadows appear before us. One must remember that mathematics, like death, never makes mistakes, never plays tricks. If we are unable to see those irrational curves or solids, it means only that they inevitably possess a whole immense world somewhere beneath the surface of our life."

Next up: Banana Yoshimoto (which of hers would you recommend, Tae-Yeoun?) or the Book of Job.
