he Hypnerotomachia Poliphili (1499) is a pretty fascinating book I finally bought the other day. So fascinating, in fact, that young authors Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason have written an entire Princeton-based suspense novel about it called The Rule of Four.

Get a fleeting sense of economic empowerment at the Park Avenue Borders, Park Ave & 57th. 6:30pm.

· Dude, "neocon" is so early-2003. The new term is "radcon," as in "radical conservative." Former (Clinton-era) Labor Secretary Robert Reich says Democrats better stop trying to be "centrist," because the radcons currently in power have pushed the political dialogue so far to the Right that to be centrist nowadays practically means you're a neo-conservative. And then this huge chunk of liberal voters out there (the ones keeping all these liberal books on the New York Times Best-Seller Lists, and who sense that grand egalitarian American ideals are being defiled day in and day out by former energy-company execs) get disenfranchised. Mr Reich will discuss Reason: Why Liberals Will Win the Battle for America at the Union Square B&N. 7pm.

· Anyone who's ever been involved with skateboarding knows that skateboarders are a pretty creative lot. It's an individual sport with a bolded emphasis on style and innovation. And back before the Interweb, skateboarders used to put out text-heavy zines and wax poetic about the joys of a smooth lipslide in Thrasher. God, I miss it. So it's good they finally have their own literary anthologies. Contributors to Life and Limb: Skateboarders Write from the Deep End read tonight at Bowery Poetry Club, 308 Bowery across from CBGB. 7pm.

· And quality lit journal Land-Grant College Review is throwing a blowout launch party for their second issue with free alcohol, free cigarettes and absolutely no readings. At The Nest, 88 Front Street in DUMBO, BKLN (A/C to High or F to York). 8:30pm. 5 bucks.

· They're still swimming through the insane marginalia-filled chapter of Finnegans Wake at the Finnegans Wake Society of New York.

I'm blest if I can see. 3. Hoppity Huhneye, hoosh the hen. I like cluckers, you like nuts (wink). 4. Sweet, medium and dry like altar wine. 5. Who'll buy me penny babies? 6. Well, Maggy, I got your castoff devils all right and fits lovely. And am vaguely grateful. Maggy thanks. 7. My six is no secret, sir, she said. 8. Yes, there, Tad, thanks, give, from, tathair, look at that now." Join the fun at Gotham Book Mart, 47th Street between Fifth & Sixth, where wise men fish and diamonds are cut. 6pm.

· Men get lots "affirming attention" as they pursue their career goals, says psychiatrist Anna Fels, whereas women sometmes settle for sexual attention or "recognition by proxy."

He's at the Chelsea B&N on Sixth Ave & 22nd discussing it. 7:30pm.
