(So violent!)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>My Life As a Russian Novel<\/em> by Emmanuel Carrere, translated from the French by Linda Coverdale<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Carrere is on my proverbial list of &#8220;authors I must read,&#8221; especially this book, the one he wrote about Philip K. Dick, <em>Lives Other than My Own<\/em>, <em>The Adversary<\/em>, <em>Class Trip<\/em> &amp; <em>The Mustache<\/em>. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Rich People Things<\/em> by Chris Lehmann<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I think everyone in America should read this book. Especially people enrolled in Business School. And anyone who doesn&#8217;t get the Occupy Movement.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>El Sicario: The Autobiography of a Mexican Assassin<\/em> by Molly Molloy and Charles Bowden<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For those who became interested in Mexico and Ciudad Juarez via Bolano&#8217;s <em>2666<\/em> . . . <\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s intro\/outro song is &#8220;Midnight City&#8221; by M83, the first song to be featured both on a Three Percent Podcast and a Victoria&#8217;s Secret commercial. Not much of a spoiler here, but I&#8217;ll be talking about M83&#8217;s epic <em>Hurry Up, We&#8217;re Dreaming<\/em> on next week&#8217;s &#8220;Best Music of 2011&#8221; podcast. And although we don&#8217;t usually post videos, I feel obliged to share the video of this song with anyone who hasn&#8217;t seen it. It&#8217;s a perfect complement to the song itself&#8212;triumphant and a little spooky, with glowing eyes and a bit of smashing.
