• Jacket Copy has put together an incredible list of “61 essential postmodern reads.” What’s really great about the list is the legend of little icons they’ve created to explain what about each title makes it pomo.  You absolutely must, if you believe in literature, click over there.

• The Jesse James Hollywood trial has ended with him convicted of first degree murder and likely to receive a life sentence with no parole.  Read the last of Natasha Vargas Cooper’s four piece series on the trial at The Awl.

• Fugazi.  On n+1. I’m a fan.  “I didn’t smoke, drink, or fuck either—I looked forward to all three, but it wasn’t working out. It was evident that the people in the straight-edge world were radically unlike me, trying to get away from things I didn’t need to get away from.”
