Late, but short summertime reading

As I was clicking around the ubuweb, I came upon this great page of links to many of the seminal minimalist texts. These are not manifesto's per se, but they do give a great understanding of approach and process. So as far as minimal/conceptual texts go, these are easy to digest as well as easy to read. By the way, who write manifesto's anymore other than the unabomber?

I also found a great Ed Ruscha text well worth the time to read.

Mel Bochner - Excerpts From Speculation (1967-1970)
Joseph Kosuth - Art After Philosophy (1969)
Sol Lewitt - Sentences on Conceptual Art (1968)
Robert Morris - Statements (1970)
Ed Ruscha - Edward Ruscha Discusses His Perplexing Publications (1965)
