Playlist catchup (Nov 2004 to Jan/Feb 2005)

Highlight: Franz Fanon's psychological and sociological insights in The Wretched of the Earth. Colonialism, oppression, and the inexorable march toward violence. Applications about and interesting to think about in light of Iraq or modern America. Not easy reading by any stretch (as I'm only halfway through), but indelible once absorbed.

Runner-up: In the Bedroom. Loaded with meaning, undercurrents, and incredible acting.
