The books queued up at my bedside at the moment:
_Yiddishkeit: Jewish Vernacular & the New Land_, ed. by Harvey Pekar & Paul Buhle (contains the delightful news that the Yiddish for Hail Mary is Oy vey Maria)
_Practical Politics 1972: How to Make Politics and Politicians Work for You_, by Frederik Pohl (charmingly out-of-date advice from a sf writer I am fond of)
The Best of Mack Reynolds (recommended by Pohl, not impressive)
_How the Beatles Destroyed Rock 'n' Roll: An Alternative History of American Popular Music_ by Elijah Wald (know your enemy; not started yet)
_Steve Jobs_ by Walter Isaacson
_C. M. Kornbluth_ by Mark Rich
The magazines queued up under my dining table:
Engineering & Science (the Caltech house organ)
The Chri Sci Monster (I am 3 issues behind)
The New York Review of Books
