Startin' off the year with beaucoup de hot wreadings, yessiree bob. Loving THUD! I've been carrying that lil paperback around with me everywhere. It's Terry Pratchett! It's mind-bogglingly hilarious! Trolls & Dwarfs! Holy heck it's a hoot ...
Also just finished Pullman's The Golden Compass. I got the trilogy, should start The Subtle Knife next week. Gotta get to all that physics freshness what with the LIVING particles and Dark Matter, the space between the light, the space between the notes, like music, a living alternative to dogma. God in self, as self, so glacierly small we are. Pullman's wrockin' some old fashioned tale telling, this is thoughtful stuff. Dig! Happy to see it's classed PZ7 in the LC schedule. That's children/teen fiction. Yessiree bob ...
This afternoon in Rebel I wread a whole graphic novel, Satchel Paige: Striking Out Jim Crow by James Sturm and Rich Tommaso. It's GORGEOUS! Part of a series from something called the Center For Cartoon Studies. They also have a Harry Houdini one I wanna find. There'll prolly bee beaucoup d'others on this history tip. Love it! Still wreading three Pynchons. Dip in every now and then, of course taking last November off to write the first draft of "Boogity" which should be wready 4 final draft by the end of january.
Also just started a new Marvel Essential. Power Man & Iron Fist! Hell yesssss! These boys together is serious ACTION. Luke Cage and Martial Artist Iron Fist? r u kidding? KPOW!!! +++ Wanna wread Faulkner's Land of the Pharaohs. Wanna wread some Chuck Palahniuk and Henry Miller soon. I've not tried either. Also, gotta finish The Idiot and crack a few paperback Vonneguts, starting with Dead Eye Dick, an old small favorite.
