theory texts

I was just doing a google search for the exact name of a piece of text I wanted to recommend to someone, and stumbled upon a list of media theory texts. Reading through, I have picked out a list that I want to read over this year, some for this project, some for my dissertation, and some just for my own development and knowledge. The annoying thing is, one I found whilst searching cam up in google without an author. I THINK it may be Lev MAlovich, and will have a look at his books in the library to see if it is his: "From Participation to Interaction: Toward the Origins of Interactive Art." If anyne knows for sure, please let me know!
