It's summer, and I am hoping to catch up on reading and writing. Today, I picked up the book that I haven't read that I should have read long ago: Lev Manovich's The Language of New Media. I'm coming clean on this one, and I'd love to hear some other confessions from Blogora readers.

It's a funny thing: Academics rarely talk about the books they haven't read. This is especially true of graduate students. I remember a conversation my second year in graduate school in which everyone was admitting that they were pretty sure everyone else had read more than they had. We all think we're frauds.

Well, here is is...my big confession. I haven't read Manovich. But I promise to start in on it next week. Don't judge.
