Really, It's Like We're Made Out of Velcro

24. Filipinoporean. Not enough range to be a singer, or songs to be a songwriter. But I can roll over you!

Most of what's written here, unless otherwise stated and unless otherwise (and very obviously) re-blogged, is original content.

I prefer to write important stuff on my LJ and my website: http://www.shewearswoolf.com/words.

The watery taste of disappointment grows as familiar as a pair of old shoes.

The Ark Sakura by Kobo Abe

Sometimes, it pays to judge a book by its cover. Especially, if it’s made-over by a great designer. This is one of the “newer” books I grabbed off the shelf while on a hunt with Tof. A shared property! I can’t wait to read more of Kobo Abe’s works, as well as watch the adaptations of his stories. There were so many things that jumped out at me while reading, but I chose a quote that couldn’t give away anything about the story.

[Source] I’ve been quite obsessed with Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. It has recently come to my attention that there is a graphic novel with the author’s stamp of approval and one of these days when I take a trip down to the bookstore (with money and with Tof, who loves books as much as I do), will Mechanical-Hound for it! See what I did there?   Tim Hamilton’s work on the graphic novel is so beautiful and while I can’t claim to be a graphic novel über geek, it was so easy to visualize the book while reading that I had hoped it had already been illustrated, for my greedy eyes to feast on. It is ironic to note that my own copy, which I bought from a thrift bookstore, has pages 83-84 torn, by a smart kid trying to be funny, or someone not funny at all. Even though I’ve found a way to read pages 83-84, I resent the culprit.
