Ulysses by James Joyce: My unhinged friends are rawdogging it, and it’s tearing our book club apart.
The use of "rawdog" slang will date this article, but I think its central questions are worth asking. Do we have to "solve" every ambiguity in art? Why do we feel the need to do it? It also brought back pleasant memories of reading the book at 21.

Reed Jackson on Bell Studies for the Clock of the Long Now
There's not a lot of writing on this rather obscure (no pun intended) late-period Eno album, for it's an odd one too: not uptempo, not ambient, sometimes unpleasant. This at least scratches the surface.

American Suburbs Are a Horror Movie and We’re the Protagonists
"American suburbs are full of ugly, empty, liminal spaces: spaces you are not meant to linger in or enjoy. They’re the creepy hallways of the built environment, and you can’t feel comfortable traversing them unless you’re zooming past them in a car. Why should we fill our cities and towns with places like this? Would you want to live in a house full of empty hallways? I wouldn’t."
