I was reading Ray Bradbury's "The Martian Chronicles" and
now I am watching the old mini series on YouTube and I can't
work out why it spooked me so much at the time as I remeber
it quite differently. but that's The Effects of Time for
you, and it's still Very Enjoyable.

I'm slowly using myself as a key to unlock hidden mysteries
of the female specimen. I'm becoming aware that I might be
isolating myself, in my pursuit of complete happiness. This
is a good book.

I'm hearing good things about Nick Harkaway's
Gone-Away World

well actually i heard a reviewer say it was the best thing
she read in 2008 but she couldn't really talk about it
without giving too much away. supposed to be some kind of
post apocalyptic sci fi.

anyway i'm gonna read it if I read one book in 2009

I've literally just finished Lost Girls by Alan Moore and
Melinda Gebbie

Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, Alice of Wonderland fame and
Wendy from Peter Pan hole up together in a French hotel
during the build up to World War I and recount tales of
their sexual awakenings that have created not only the women
they have become but the classic childrens literature in
which their characters feature.

It's a three book graphic novel containing extreme hardcore
pornography most of the way through and I thought it was
fucking great. As is to be expected from the writer of
Watchmen, this book goes way beyond it's premise and becomes
a study of our attitudes towards sexuality and fantasy as
well as a thought provoking look at pornography and its
place within society. The artwork is great too.

The complete three book set is fucking expensive though,
so I wouldn't recommend buying it unless you know it's
something you would really be interested in. Everyone else
should hunt down a torrent if they can.

Lost Girls wikipedia

Now I'm going to start on Breakfast of Champions. Something
I've been meaning to read for years.
