mmmm shiney… well.. err…
It’s funny that Rollins mentions Mishima in that essay. I read Sea of Fertility years ago, not having any clue what it was about, or any idea of it’s significance. My parents bookshelves were (and still are, I hope) full of fascinating stuff to discover.
Re-reading it some 20 years later will be interesting, especially now I know a bit more about the author.
Ahh, internets, leading us to interesting knowledge, porn and cat pics. What would we do without you?!

This workout’s coming down in time.
Clubs=Squats
Spades=Mountain Climbers
Diamonds=Push ups
Hearts=Leg lifts.

New study finds that reading fiction increases one's comfort with ambiguity
Are you uncomfortable with ambiguity? It’s a common condition, but a highly problematic one. The compulsion to quell that unease can inspire snap judgments, rigid thinking, and bad decision-making.
Fortunately, new research suggests a simple antidote for this affliction: Read more literary fiction.
A trio of University of Toronto scholars, led by psychologist Maja Djikic, report that people who have just read a short story have less need for what psychologists call “cognitive closure.” Compared with peers who have just read an essay, they expressed more comfort with disorder and uncertainty—attitudes that allow for both sophisticated thinking and greater creativity.
“Exposure to literature,” the researchers write in the Creativity Research Journal, “may offer a (way for people) to become more likely to open their minds.”
