Conducting Bodies — would like to see the drafts etc — idea while reading to reread several times in succession — this book — Naked Lunch - La Maison idea to take magazines from any month and make a novel based on illustrations and articles

a good idea forgotten about — possible combination of ideas for new novel and porno as i have a set of magazines that were for collage and think that there were some pornos in the group

idea for making a novel by interlacing new text with Simon’s etc or several books together using full sentences not Burroughs method — ideas on copyright etc deconstruct the Simon — pull it into sections etc — a tremendous amount of critical work could be done on these novels — what has been done — scholarship I’ve missed
for some reason the name of the goddess Bast kept coming to me today — a cat head? — Isabella — I look up in Gods of the Egyptians and note all the underlinings in these books — forgotten knowledge — overlay in time to diary entries of when they were read

PM — sunny day — picking weeds — neglecting things to do — feel of heat ideas for a criticism that repeats the text criticized completely — perhaps by using a line reference system — what I would like to work on — list of books — grant application to apply this technique — a sample page? — could one pick a sample without doing the entire thing — interlace of texts — also by line number so that reader would read several books together — a few lines from one then from another etc
(blanks for writing) — idea for reading the same book over and over for a couple of days — idea to take a book apart — the 2 page format of books doesn’t allow for cutting up because the back of the page is destroyed — two copies would be needed
a ring bound book that spins around itself — any point begins what do I want — define success — a short page
