Damn, more books to add to the teetering stacks on my nightstand...
I not only listen to NPR, I visit its website on a regular basis. (this makes me ineligible for Republican Party Membership in at least 3 states)
The latest gem found there is actually from Thursday, but it took me a few days to pick up on it:
as part of NPR’s ongoing Summer Books 2008 series, Glen Weldon has pulled together a neat little roundup of recent (well, within the past year or so) ‘real’ books that play off of, celebrate, twist, or chronicle the comic book phenomenon for the civilian populace.
You could do much, much worse than to just read the whole damn list in order.
one of the featured books/authors in the above linked article is “From the Notebooks of Dr. Brain” by the baddest sci-fi writing mofo in all of Alberta, Minister Faust. If you weren’t already familiar with the work of the Rev. Mr. Faust, then you should definitely pick up Dr. Brain — or his first book, “The Coyote Kings of the Space-Age Bachelor Pad”
