i almost bought Sin and Syntax a week ago. I don't think my tastes are unusually esoteric, just a mix of semi-highbrow (Connell, Borges, Ducornet, etc) and, well, comics and tarot stuff and organizational-self-help books. this is just recent stuff... that's why it's in the little thingy by my bed. i have a roomful of books on the other side of the house, anything from Wuthering Heights to Cryptonomicon! :)
