GAD yes, thank you for reminding me of that website! I spent most of Friday reading it and getting all worked up over Dorks of Ages Past again. :P I've gone and ordered a couple more books off that rec list already!

Starkie's Baudelaire Filter is AMAZING. At times it's like whole chapters are footnotes to some imaginary essay on Baudelaire. Who I have nothing either for or against, so far, but WOW. (and thennnn there's the 1950s vintage bigotry, but that's a whole 'nother thing.)
