I'm re-reading Herbert Farjeon's Cricket Bag, which funnily enough is by Herbert Farjeon.

after i read 'like a velvet glove cast in iron' i just thought "what the fuck was he on when he wrote that?", Caricature is the only Daniel Clowes book i dont have, i recently got '20th Centuary eightball' and liked that alot.
Ghost Worls is still his best, then Ice Haven, then David Boring, then 20th Centuary Eightball, then the rest.

i really really really reccomend to everyone who likes Daniel Clowes to read anything you can find by Adrien Tomine, he is just like him!!!, his drawing style is exactly the same, but he is far far more realistic than Daniel Clowes.


At the moment i am reading "staring at sound", its about the Flaming lips, its pretty great so far.

really? i thought the surrealism of it was cool.i guess some things were just weird to be weird, but i still thought it was cool, and funny as hell. like the women who had a child with the mermaid..man...

Yeah, I mean, on one level, I dug it. But it doesn't have lasting appeal for me like Ghost World & other more straightforward work.

Re-reading the Upinishads and Joyce's Ulysses. Do I win the prize? Can it be Lady Sov?

oh brother-- you shouldn't have. hit the used bookstore instead. of course hand-made book covers are quite interesting if you make one. or giving ford a little hitler moustache for that matter.

Pretty good book, but I thought cutting off the history once the band went "corporate" was a bit arbitrary.

A friend lent me a Dave Eggers book. How We Are Hungry, I think, is the title. I've got the first two stories in. I like his style (even though it doesn't really seem new or inventive), but the stories - again, that I've read - are kind of boring..
Actually boring's not a good word. Easy? I'm not sure.
