books - the other side of the process

List of books I am reading:

Oh Pure and Radiant Heart by Lydia Millet (reviewing for Invisible Insurrection - look for it soon here.)

Lost on Purpose: Women in the City
, edited by Amy Prior (reviewing for Invisible Insurrection)

Re-reading some chapters in Disorder Versus Order in Brain Function, edited by Peter Arhem, Clas Blomberg, and Hans Liljenstrom.

True Story by Michael Finkel (I followed the Christian Longo case closely, so I knew Longo had impersonated Michael Finkel while fleeing from justice. What I did not know is that - at precisely the same time - Finkel had fallen from grace at the New York Times, for lies in his reporting. Vanity Fair recently published an excerpt.)

I might re-read The Missing by Andrew O'Hagan as well. One of my Antioch mentors assigned this book to me, after he saw that I was writing about missing people. O'Hagan shares my empathy, mourning, and obsession with the missing, but his approach is very different.

Oh - and then there is the list of six forensic textbooks I desperately want to study. Right now, I have books on forensic taphonomy, forensic art, decomposition, forensic anthropology, and pathology. Oh, there are so many more ...
