I just read about the EU law that would ban incandescent light bulbs by 2010. Australia, Cuba, and the Philippines have already taken action to do so. Find the Telegraph article here.

Do you think that this will mean anything for the art world? Some seem to think so - find the Interview article here.

Summer Reading

I've been reading a bit this summer and I thought I'd share the most recent. What have you been reading?



I took this on the plane with me to Austin this week. F. Scott Fitzgerald couldn't help me fend off a talkative plane neighbor, unfortunately. I don't know if I'll finish it. I kept rereading paragraphs over and over again.




I had read The Lovely Bones a long time ago and thought I would give this one a try. I had to finish it to see what happened, though it wasn't my favorite.




This is the first non-fiction I have read by Haruki Murakami. Not a disappointment and a quick read.




Okay, okay, so he's my favorite. This one ended up being the (sort of) sequel to The Wild Sheep Chase, so I ate it up.




I was surprised (and happy) to find that my local library had a Murakami book of short stories. I found out, in the forward, that his pattern of writing is novel-short stories-novel-short stories-novel...




This was a late birthday present from a friend. I'd wanted it ever since I found out she had a book. It's nicely put together and a great break from a novel. I never knew she had a "yearbook leg."
