Books are my only friends: A good Civil War read
http://booksaremyonlyfriends.blogspot.com/2010/05/good-civil-war-read.html
Books are my only friends. For those about to read, we salute you. Thursday, May 20, 2010. A good Civil War read. My sister now lives in Atlanta, which means I visit fairly frequently. Not as much as I would like, but I have certainly spent some time there. On one of the visits, we traveled out to the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. In Sherman, you can see beginnings of the idea of crushing an enemy by breaking the will of the civilian populace. The Germans developed this further by subm...

Books are my only friends: Takashi Miike on American TV?
http://booksaremyonlyfriends.blogspot.com/2010/05/takashi-miike-on-american-tv.html
Books are my only friends. For those about to read, we salute you. Friday, May 07, 2010. Takashi Miike on American TV? Well it nearly happened. Showtime ran a series of one hour horror films by famous horror directors. The series was titled Masters of Horror. Miike got unlucky thirteen and his ended up going straight to DVD. Why you ask? Short and nasty, I suspect fans of Laird Barron will find parts of this one interesting. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Subscribe in a reader. Books For Kids Blog.

Books are my only friends: Book trade bonanza at Powells
http://booksaremyonlyfriends.blogspot.com/2010/05/book-trade-bonanza-at-powells.html
Books are my only friends. For those about to read, we salute you. Wednesday, May 19, 2010. Book trade bonanza at Powells. Oh man did I score at Powell's yesterday. I brought in a stack of books and received just under $50 in credit. Having not bought books in awhile there were so many to pick up. Here was my haul. By Philipp Meyer. This one gets compared to McCarthy and Lehane and also wound up on a number of best of lists for 09. Looks promising, in a bleak, makes-you-wanna-die kinda way. My musical ob...

Books are my only friends: There's no Carlos in Interpol
http://booksaremyonlyfriends.blogspot.com/2010/05/theres-no-carlos-in-interpol.html
Books are my only friends. For those about to read, we salute you. Monday, May 10, 2010. There's no Carlos in Interpol. Seriously, this makes me wanna cry. Carlos D has left Interpol. The rhythm section is critical to the band's awesomeness. Where else where will the band find a cool looking aloof New Yorker bassist? Watch Obstacle 1 and pretend it isn't real.

Books are my only friends: Some nice looking scifi on the horizon
http://booksaremyonlyfriends.blogspot.com/2010/05/some-nice-looking-scifi-on-horizon.html
Books are my only friends. For those about to read, we salute you. Monday, May 17, 2010. Some nice looking scifi on the horizon. Amazon has a page of summer fiction treats up. It includes the new Mieville called Kraken. Which looks great. This one is set in a version of our London, but with plenty of Mieville madness. If you haven't read him, definately give Perdido Street Station a try. Just hold your nose if the bug sex bothers you. William Gibson has a new one. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Books are my only friends: Another book that will be traded at Powells
http://booksaremyonlyfriends.blogspot.com/2010/05/another-book-that-will-be-traded-at.html
Books are my only friends. For those about to read, we salute you. Wednesday, May 05, 2010. Another book that will be traded at Powells. I just started the Monster of Florence. And I am not feeling it at all. The subject is interesting in theory. Douglas Preston moves to Italy and starts researching a crime novel. As part of the research he meets a reporter who covered an unsolved series of brutal murders. They start investigating and get into trouble with the fuzz. Isn't that a bit much? Most highlighte...

Books are my only friends: Most highlighted passages on the Kindle
http://booksaremyonlyfriends.blogspot.com/2010/05/most-highlighted-passages-on-kindle.html
Books are my only friends. For those about to read, we salute you. Tuesday, May 04, 2010. Most highlighted passages on the Kindle. One of the (purported) benefits of the Kindle is that you can highlight text. Big Brother Amazon is apparently aggregating this info, judging by this page of most highlighted text. Anyway, can you guess who is the Daddy Mac of highlighted text? William P Young, author of the Shack. Got-dam Shack readers love them some highlighting. Second, where is the dirty, dirty talk?

Books are my only friends: Waiting for the Gun
http://booksaremyonlyfriends.blogspot.com/2010/05/waiting-for-gun.html
Books are my only friends. For those about to read, we salute you. Wednesday, May 05, 2010. Waiting for the Gun. Man, looks like I live in the wrong Northwest city. Soundgarden got together (as Nudedragons) for a show in Seattle last month. I would have loved this cover of Waiting for the Sun. Here is the whole show. Gun sounds as fucking bad ass as ever.

Books are my only friends: My musical obsession of the day

Books are my only friends. For those about to read, we salute you. Wednesday, May 12, 2010. My musical obsession of the day. Sleigh Bell's awesomely electronic Crown on the Ground. Described by Brack as Tegan and Sara x DMX x My Bloody Valentine. Ideal for turning way up. I am blanking on the album cover they are referencing. Is it Bob Seger? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
