  Please advise.  Handbook of Drawing is still not in English.  God damnit.

  Darkmans was terrible.

  Terrible.

  I'm sorry.

  Vollmann sniffs his own ass so hard I can hear it from here.  At least he tries.  Still smells like shit.

  Omega Minor was fun, and worthwhile.

  Summer in Termuren(sp?) was worthwhile.  But old.

  I subscribe to One Store because I like their format.  It's all horrible.  One of their contributors had a national endowment of the arts grant and a gugenheim grant and reading her bullshit made me want to stab myself in the eye.  Good on her being able to game the system, but dear lord.

  New authors, please.
