Reading
Books: on balance, I'm for them. These are most of the ones I've read since 2007 or so. The star ratings correspond more closely to "how worth my time this felt" than "how good this is."O'Barr, James

Drawn & Quarterly Showcase: Book One
w/ Kevin Huizenga, Nicolas Robel
I was a bit tredidatious as I cracked this thing open: after my experiences with "What is the What" and the U2 discography, I was a little concerned that the content wouldn't rise to the hype. Instead, I was confronted by humble works by both Huizenga and Robel that were both disarming and sweet. Equally legible to both nerds and others.
