« Critical Compendium | Main | Web 2.0 Visionaries vs. the Handyman » Wednesday, June 27, 2007JamestownI praised Matthew Sharpe's brilliant, very funny post-apocalyptic novel "Jamestown" a while back. Now you can hear him reading from the book via this podcast.  One of the excerpts that Sharpe reads includes a particularly excellent line: "Some great, quaint, pre-Annihilation philosopher described the movement of history as thesis-antithesis-synthesis, whereas I've seen a lot more thesis-antithesis-steak knife-breadknife."
