I just finished Siva Vaidhyanathan's Copyrights and Copywrongs, which was actually pretty great -- a truly interdisciplinary study that includes pretty much all of my favorite nerd obsessions: music, literature, technology, cultural studies, politics. And also law, with which I am not really obsessed.
Then I just tore through book one of the comic DMZ, which was pretty awesome, and better than I'm finding the monthly comic (which I started picking up on Laurie's recommendation, I think).
Now, in a possibly futile attempt to keep myself sane during this movie project, I'm reading a Writers' Guild Fund benefit anthology wherein screenwriters write about their first jobs. It's called The First Time I Got Paid For It, and I picked it up for 2 bucks in a used bookshop in either Austin or Berkeley. So far it sucks, but I've only read the William Goldman and Alan Alda essays. I think I'll try reading it out of order.
