Mentioning Design orientated books, has anyone read Made You
Look by Stefan Sagmeister?

What a fabulous object that book is, cost me a fortune but
it was well worth it. If anyone gets a chance to have a look
at it, please take the time.

nope it's by
Leslie Cabarga
it's pretty nifty

the combinations are by Eras

Victorian, Art Deco, 60s....etc

the Rave Section is very cool covers most of the
Dance/Techno Culture color schemes..

That's cool, _awt_ : have you read A Garden of Pomegranates
by Israel Regardie? or The Book of Thoth, by Aleister
Crowley?

Hey cool, you've studied Crowley too--well, did you like
study him for school, or "study" him? :)

both. first i got interested, then made 20-page essay of
him. i got the crowley thoht tarot when i was 12 or
something so that is how it all started.

my history teacher did no evaluate my essay btw because he
didn't want to read stuff about crowley. i am ever bitter.

Fuck! I would be bitter too! Did you try to complain to
someone else at the school? That ignorance is shocking : /

marlowe, you should read that book which contains letters
written by Satie. it's fantastic, the man was soooooo
strange.
what is the title of the book about satie's compositional
technique? i would like to lay my hands on such a book...:)

david croenenberg, it's awsome...)

its funny how people (including my teacher) reat to crowley.
'omg he is the guy who founded satan worshipping!' or
something.

lol

Bremzen: The introduction to the Compositional book
mentioned the letters, and highly recommend them :) The book
is called "Satie the Composer", and is written by a Robert
Orledge.

neetta: yeah, I had the misfortune to watch a documentary on
what is meant to be the most liberal Tv channel here, and it
kept calling him evil, a black magician, and yes, a
satanist--I was fuming throughout! >:(

I'm in too many literature courses, and I'm supposed to have
finished Canterbury Tales, Purgatorio, The Book of Good
Love, Guide to the Perplexed, the Gazelle, a thick stack of
essays by Freud, Barthes, Hegel, and Kant, half of the
Hebrew Bible and a good portion of Divus Julius by Monday.
It's not happening.

the first part of It, I think--

Just finished reading "The Lucifer Principle" by Howard
Bloom for the second time. Focused on his thesis that social
structures are a type of superorganism. It's right
interesting, so check it out.

Yes, it's thought provoking. I also recommend "The Ego and
It's Own" by Max Stirner. Amoralist egoism at its finest,
called the most revolutionary book ever written. Dangerous
stuff.

right. I'll join in.

Paul, did you read the book of interviews with David Lynch
"Lynch on Lynch" published by Faber & Faber..? I have that
one, its very interesting.

I've just read "Don't panic" - a book about Douglas Adams
and how he wrote the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. (and
its written by Neil Gaiman). it was nice.

also, I'm reading "eating naked", strange short stories by
Stephen Dobyns.

and I have to read "Oedipus Rex", the play.

Nope, I haven't read the Lynch Interviews--I read one once
in a film magazine, but that's about the extent of it :)
Sounds interesting, though.

It's called 'Weirdsville USA' and it's about his movies/Tv
work--I'm up to the 2nd series of Twin Peaks with it--I
failed to realise that his movies are littered with
references to The Wizard Of Oz! :)

lullaby is about a journalist who tries to figure out a
story behind all of these crib deaths that occur and
discovers that the root of all these deaths is a lullaby
that the parents would read the baby before bed that kills
them. "sticks and stones may break your bones, but words
will never hurt you."
*bam!* you're dead!
