Archelon Ranch by Garret Cook.

Great book, so far. What I'm most impressed with is that I'm on page 10 and there hasn't been a single spelling, punctuation, syntax or usage error. I'm also wondering, given the predominance of chimpanzees & hats, if Mr. Cookhas a fixation with Esphyr Slobodkina.

My only negative comment so far is that the book is dedicated to about 50,000 people, none of which are me.

Legumeman's editor is really good. Also, that book looks incredibly cool. Also, I'm fairly certain you're Stan Lee, so you are in the dedications. Where's my No Prize?

Currently reading "Help! A Bear is Eating Me!", just finished "Apeshit" and "Super Fetus", good shit.

Take a peek at the introductory page of 'Anansi Boys' by Neil Gaiman. It'll warm your heart.

Agree, Im about forty pages in and it is easily the most original book Ive ever read, good work Doc.

Its currently sharing my attention with Brent Weeks' The Night Angel Trilogy, currently half way through the second book, Shadows Edge. Real quality reading.

The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. (not sure if I spelled that right but I'm not reading it in English)

The Death of Bunny Munro by Nick Cave

Doc Faustus 02-24-2010 03:31 PM

Cool. I started that but never got around to finishing it. Love the guy's music, though.

Yeah it is pretty cool. I read a quarter of it last night at work. It is quite grim and nihilistic so far.
