Um...excuse me, Amazon, but I think something's off here....

 

László Krasznahorkai's Nobel Prize Lecture

 

You can find it online for free...but I had no qualms about dropping ten bucks for this lovely little book. For one thing, it's László Fucking Krasznahorkai, man! For another thing...no, it's just that one thing, actually. I really love László. I've read everything that's been translated into English, and have considered learning Hungarian so I could get to the rest. 

'Cause he's The Best.

Welcome Back, My Friends

Picked this up from the library on a whim, as I'm not really all that into Prog music, and know nothing about this David Weigel fellow. But after just a few pages, I was sucked in, and I ended up reading this book in just a few days. It was quite delightful,  chronicling Prog music from Franz Lizst to yesterday at 4 pm. (Thus invalidating, the title.) Lots of interesting characters along the way: ELP, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, Robert Fripp, Adrien Belew, David Bowie, Todd Rundgren, and many, many others. Something for everyone!

Paul Pope! THB!!

I'm sorry to say that it's been a while since I've seen any work by Paul Pope. Thus, I was quite surprised when I ran across an ad for something called Total THB Volume 2. I got to work immediately and found that there were 2 volumes available already and a third volume would be coming in December. I started to order them from Amazon, then thought, "Why the heck am I doing this?" and went to Thrift Books. Both volumes pretty much the same price as they were on Amazon (actually 10 cents cheaper), so placed my order. They're on the way. Details to follow.
