Hi, Ross, Regarding your cinephilia query, I highly recommend the final chapter of Mary Ann Doane's _The Emergence of Cinematic Time_, particularly pages 226-232, in which she specifically and sophisticatedly explores the subject. I hope this helps. Kristi Ross Macleay wrote: It is hardly a new phenomenon but I have read quite a few articles and literary essays on bibliophilia lately - variously, predictably nostalgic, elegaic, resigned, culturally panicked or worried about the novel. It seems people mostly watch fiction and read non fiction. Apart from one by David Foster Wallace, the pieces were not great advertisements for literary culture. Nearly all use the banal argument and treat cinephilia (and telephilia) as at best a love flawed by addiction, banality and triviality. But I would like to read a more thoughtful, less off the shelf critique, one that is self-critique for cinephiles Ross
