Tor Double #10 Sailing to Byzantium/Seven American Nights - Robert Silverberg/Gene Wolfe

Excellent book. But I have yet to read a book by Patrick Hamilton that isn't.

Seen the movie?

Between hoovering. Its good at being sick.

Eerola, Louhivuori, Moisala etc.: Johdatus musiikintutkimukseen
Introductory book about different branches of musicology (ethnomusicology, music psychology, music semiology, dance, cognitive musicology...)

James L. Peacock: The Anthropological Lens - Harsh Light, Soft Focus

Petri Kuljuntausta: ON/OFF - Eetteriäänistä sähkömusiikkiin
This one's mostly about the development of electric instruments and studio technology, the creation of the first electronic, musique concrete and computer works, including interviews with the composers and inventors of electronic instruments, in Finland.

fucking YAY

I HATE that book.

i'm fast becoming a reader of comics-- just like when i was 3 and books weren't quite there for me yet.

Mid-life crisis?

more of an exhaustion like at the end of a night of heavy drinking when you can't have any more fucking gin and you just want some fried eggs and coffee-- it's hard to find a book i really wanna read, been like that since i left gradschool. i start them, they bore me, i fall asleep and abandon them. this is how precocious childhoods end-- in utter disillusion and despair. i'm no rimbaud turned gunrunner, my thing was reading, not writing. those 2 comics aren't bad at all though.

The Writing of the Disaster - Maurice Blanchot
The Technique of Editing 16mm Films - John Burder
In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower - Marcel Proust
The Architecture of Vision - Michelangelo Antonioni

And a rather outdated textbook on American cinema... written sometime around the advent of the dvd.

yes. well parts of it. I might finish it now, that you reminded me.

They are making a new movie though. The guy who played the Human Torch in the Fantastic Four movies is playing Steve/Cap.

But this isn't his solo book. This is the variant cover of Captain America for the book titled "SIEGE." And the 3rd issue of it. The first two variant covers had Norman Osborn in his "Iron Patriot" suit (which is pretty much a Tony Stark designed and built Iron Man suit, with a few modifications and painted with the colors of the American flag), standing over a reflective table with his helmet on, and the face of Loki reflecting off of the table. The second issue is just a bad ass shot of a pissed off Thor. I really like the artist, Gabriele Dell'Otto. I think he has the talent to be the next Alex Ross or Michael Turner. He's still a pretty young guy.





And apparently this is the variant for the 4th and final book of the "SIEGE" series:


It's a good time to be reading comic books. I'm 22, and if this is a mid-life crisis, I'm in trouble. I think people should turn of the television and read comics. More entertaining, less cancellations (though, if more people were buying comics, there'd be a lot less cancelled titles.), and there are all kinds of different comics, characters, and stories.

Comics are the shit.

Fnar. Looks like lady bits. Guffaw.

I'm too busy lately to get into serious literature, all pulp for the time being.

Walter Mosley's "Devil in the Blue Dress", it's, meh.

this on the train to and from work


and this in bed

+ I have to buy the Japan edition too

if you're going to Tokyo I recommend getting the Time Out guide too

I bought my airline ticket yesterday.

Vienna -> Seoul (Korea)
Tokyo (Japan) -> Vienna

it was really cheap. Though I am a bit worried ... looks like i will be travelling on my own.
