Over the past 24 hours I have devoured Dylan's Chronicles and James Marcus' Amazonia. The first 100 pages of Chronicles is wonderful with Dylan's extraordinary display of remembrance in memory and emotion. Later on he gets bogged down in the technicalities of recording albums and never quite recaptures the initial brilliance. I envy him his recollection. James Marcus story of Amazon is also a good read demonstrating the deskilling by computer that has finished so many careers in recent times. A good story. -- Douglas Clark, Bath, Somerset, England .... http://www.dgdclynx.plus.com >> Stay informed about: Just read
