Still Life with Woodpecker, Tom Robbins


How else can I resist a novel that asks the question, "How do you make love stay?"

A comedy about Pyramids, Golden Balls. The main characters are an outlaw and a princess. This novel set in the last quarter of the twentieth century waxes quickly from the moon to freedom. Funny as hell.

The Same Woman, by Thea Lim


Thea Lim has a new book coming out, The Same Woman. There is a myspace page, just for the book. Check it out.

Push!

What I am reading now.

You'd think that after all these years, I'd get what this guy is talking
about.

NOPE!

So I am trying again to understand Hegel, this time in the form of a
comic book.

I bought it a few years back because it was cute.
Now I am scratching my eyes out trying to figure out the concepts of
dialectic logic from a cartoon drawings --- and failing.

UofT has alright maintainence signs.

The two part-er system is good.

One side tells you exactly what the problem is.
The other tells you how long it will take to fix.
