Portentous

it has been almost a week since I last posted. I did experience that familiar joy of finishing an engaging novel, saddened to see it end. the Victor Serge concludes in Mexico, just like Augie March. The two novels may possess further similarity.

I have started John Gray's Black Mass with samizdat. This prompted a reading of chs 8 and 9 of Norman Cohn's book on Millenialism. I was also introduced to the work of Jonathan Spence.
