Well, Catholicgauze has been tagged by an insidious internet ring which demanded my summer reading list. Well, since the thesis is a time-consuming monster I will include books I have read since March and hope to get in, somehow, by the end of the summer.

I just discovered your site, so forgive me if I've overlooked this -- but have you read any books by the geographer Yi-fu Tuan? I am currently reading "Escapism."
Goethe,

I'm enjoying "Escapism." I think Alain de Botom has been inspired by him, especially his book on travel.
