M'boy bought me, mostly with his own money, a Kindle. I'll never want for a bus book ever again. Happiness.

The first book I started reading was Temporary Autonomous Zone by Hakim Bey, which is a nom de plume of Peter Lamborn Wilson. I knew this essay was a favorite of ravers & Burners, and it's easy to see why: it espouses "poetic terrorism", i.e. vandalism and just generally being wacky as art and provocation. It doesn't have much to say about interpersonal relations, and it reads like a more earnest Book of Subgenius.

Where it gets creepy is if you read about Wilson. He's been a NAMBLA supporter in the past. The frequent mentions of boys in TAZ give me that oogy feeling, and I have a pretty strong stomach. I'm glad I borrowed this book instead of paying for it.
