010606-NY18 bks as time testimony

Writing on what I did on Thurs, alright, let's see, I got up late again, heads off to Midtown library, for the bksales, brought another issue of NAJP journal, for only because it's really cheap, a 75cents, most of the articles I am not really interested, my impression on this bunch of people isn't too gd, I guess. But happened to notice even Micheal kimmelman is a quite recent graduate. Everyone has to have some papers these days, even someone at NYTimes (I assume he is on the job already when studying)?
Then find there is a Ballet Russe video screening which I couldn't catch in time, I walked across to Central library to see the surprisingly gd show of French Book Art. from Marllarme-Manet onwards, to e.g. Batialle with Masson, even Batialle with A Giacometti! Artaud to Guy Debord ... really a great feast. (Will write later on the chicago experience on Art Book of my last trip later on, which Phoebe from AAA once told me to write a long time ago.) Then in the smaller corridor gallery, there is some recent acquistion, including two great t. Struth shot of New York, and others like Meyerowitz and Arbus.
Then I visited the Gotham Books nearby, a really gd literary bk stores, reminding me of the time when I read and read writers like Maria Varga llosa. missed those times much.
