Went slightly insane at BMV Books yesterday, and acquired the following:
- What Just Happened: A Chronicle from the Information Frontier by James Gleick (I read and really enjoyed Gleick's last book, Faster: The Acceleration of Just About Everything)
- Philosophy Through Film by Mary M. Litch (a very nifty-looking book which uses examples from movies like The Matrix, Memento, and Total Recall to explore and illustrate basic questions in philosophy)
- Film: An Introduction, First Edition by William H. Phillips (there's now a second edition available for the super-keen; however, the first edition is going way cheap at BMV)
