What are you reading

I thought it would be interesting to hear what you guys are currently reading. We have talked about the plan to share more of each others thinking and work process and for me it has become a nice routine to frequently check in with flickr to see if Tom or Brent or anybody else has uploaded new images from the studio. We also talked about exploring to do collaborative drawing. But how about words? Reading "Vermeer in Bosnia" by Lawrence Weschler, I want to say that this is an inspiring, thought provoking book, although I'm not even finished reading it. The first, title giving piece is an elegantly written essay mixing small observations in paintings by Johannes Vermeer with documentations of the brutal war raging in the middle of Europe in the mid-Nineties. The portrait of Roman Polanski, written for the "New Yorker" (where it first appeared together with a portrait image by Richard Avedon) , is a mesmerizing account of the wrestling Weschlers with Polanski about the question how e.g. horrific real life experiences in Polanski's life intersect with certain basic themes that seem to appear over and over again in his films (Polanski mostly denies it saying that he was always more influenced by films he saw as a young boy).
