Little Buying Spree

I can't help but buy different kinds of media. It's a sickness. However, as opposed to previous buying sprees, this one seems fairly diverse. Over the past, I've gone from books to movies to music. However, in the past couple weeks, I've managed to buy one of all three. The day after I got home, I purchased a copy of White Light/White Heat by the Velvet Underground. Two days ago, I was at Best Buy and spotted a copy of Dark City for only $5.99! That's not a deal to be missed. Then today I purchased a copy of Of Paradise and Power by John Kagan. I'll write a review of this last one. Maybe the other two, if I'm bored. It already appears, at least for now, to be the kind of work that academics don't consider major, yet gets cited all the time, like the Clash of Civilizations, the Coming Anarchy, or The End of History and the Last Man. If that ends up being the case, Kagan will help frame the debate, whether he's right or wrong, and whether academics like it or not. I'll let you know what I think.
