Joseph Heller's Closing Time

Re-reading from Chapter 18, Dante. 

Dante's Inferno (the game gave me quite a bit of information)
The Magic Mountain
Schweik
Kafka - done
Joseph K
Faulkner
Ulysses- tried; Latin got in the way. 
30 Rock - seen some; it's good. 
Gustav Aschenbach - Death in Venice - Mann
The ubiquitous Indian restaurant
Saroyan
Camus - lots to go. 
Bible, Freud - usual suspects
King Lear

Chapter 19
Loads of f

Chapter 20
The chaplain's plight, brilliantly described, and I opine that Mr Heller was a very verbose writer, with an almost stream-of-consciousness style, and had a very expansive vocabulary.

Money

By Pink Floyd Excellent song. The lyrics pertain to (most probably) the group's experience itself. As such, it is funny and humorous, poking fun at the system of media barons and "chart" economics.  I relate to it even more these days, when all I need is money. I am at peace, content, moksha-esque, even - but I do need money for subsistence. Which reminds me , how do I monetize my writings? Time to fire up the Vaio.
