I don't have much to say about this list, mostly because what I would be reviewing I've already reviewed (Vinyl, Northlanders) or is forthcoming (Liars, Sleepless).
On the politics front, I'm far too exhausted to really right some kind of postmortem on the primaries. I don't want to write about McCain v. Obama, mostly because the fact that McCain isn't as much a maverick as a panderer and a obfuscater is not only uninteresting when put in context with the modern Republican party, but I don't have anything all that new to say on the subject. I was contemplating writing about the Veepstakes, but I had a sort of epipheny: I remembered why I hated veep speculation. I was watching CNN and Wolf Blitzer played a clip (on his crazy big, complex wall television) of Gore categorically refusing to be considered for Veep again, and then he spend fifteen minutes speculating about Gore as VP. Seriously.
So, with What I'm Reading relegated to the near future, and politics out, and in the absence of any interesting musings over may, I'll cut this MIR short. Enjoy.
