i mean these articles go on and on about the "euphemisms" of the smart-growth movement and then continue to flog the good old reliable reason mad lib jargon that feeds into america's psychotic fear of any sort of governance whatsoever.

milton do you have any dr. strange from the seventies?

no, I never even read those, don't know why -- Gene Colan's art was always incredible, I have the Howard The Ducks and the Draculas (bad stories but unbelievable artwork) but not the Stranges, were they good?

they were all in mylar bags, but they weren't taped up. so they're all yellowed and not worth much money. I think I'm keeping the Kirbys and everything else I kind of need to give away.

Tomb of Dracula DID have killer art. Some of those Dr. Strange's were pretty cool--lots of psychedelic hippy nonsense.

i'm trying to read Chris Elliot's "The Shroud of the Thwacker" but it's so tedious and not funny, i don't want to finish it. i feel really bad because one of my super close friends told me it was the funniest thing he's ever read. maybe i'm not getting the references to all the books he's making fun of, or maybe it's just plain stupid. or maybe i'm just plain stupid? i dunno.

― bb (bbrz), Tuesday, 21 November 2006 16:15 (nineteen years ago)

Reading my copy of J.G. Ballard's new book, Kingdom Come, and a huge collection of his short stories. For some reason neither is out in the US so I had to hit up amazon.co.uk.

Read Hard-Boiled Wonderland a while ago, it was great.

the only thing needed to qualify for ultimate all-time pseud status is chuck palahniuk!!

What about Bret Easton Ellis? I thought he was necessary for pseud status. I finally got around to reading his last one, not so great. He can actually write occasionally though, unlike Palahniuk.
