JrnymnNate September 6, 2001 12:12 PM	This is a spin off of the Movie strips. Post a comic of a book done in 3 panels here. I love Dune in 3 panels by Graehe, he must have read this stuff. 32222

itsclark September 6, 2001 5:08 PM	Only part of a book, really. You don't expect to fit the whole bloody Lord of the Rings into three panels, do you? 32258 There! That should boost the geek quotient of this forum to acceptable levels.

itsclark September 6, 2001 9:06 PM	quote: The Lord of the Ring, Parts I, 2, and 3 Pretty good! You know, I'd read alot more books except that I'm waiting for the comics to come out. That's a cleverly done Zaphod, Big Evil. I find your HHGTTG much more convincing than the made-for-TV version.

JrnymnNate September 6, 2001 9:07 PM	How silly of me. I just realized that. That "Hitchiker" crap is some "excelent" sci-fi there... never read it. Why is it that the silly books are always the most popular? Kinda like music...

It was called The Mind's Eye. A really mellow little book about consciousness, mind and body, and ant fugues. A good bathroom book to put next to your Far Side collection and granny porn.

andydougan September 7, 2001 8:56 PM	This one alludes to both Francis Ford Coppola's film The Godfather and Lewis Grassic Gibbon's novel A Scots Quair, so I don't know whether it belongs in the movie thread or this one. This one won the toss. 32404 Sadly, I doubt anyone here has read Quair, so you won't grasp the subtle nuances of the last panel.

ObiJo November 7, 2001 10:26 PM	quote: Walden in three hundred thousand panels I just got this on talking book so my eyes skipped quickly past that comic. So far I'm having a tough time following it, and I'm only through tape 1 of 8. (First time I've had an 8 tape audio book. Largest before is 4.)

Dear customer: You may notice that a large portion of Side 2 of Tape 6 seems blank. This is not a manufacturing defect. It seems that the narrator fell asleep, and he neglected to tell the sound engineer, who was off playing pinball. Although we assure you that we meticulously review every second of our audio programs, somehow we missed this error before the product was ready for shipping. We apologize.

Here are a few of the thrilling reading materials currently littering my bathroom:

A book about Pierre Bourdieu's books. Bourdieu is a French sociologist and therefore too hard to read without, like, Cliff's Notes or something.

The Bowker Annual on libraries and the book trade. I borrowed this out of our noncirculating collection. So far, no one has protested. Or noticed. Even librarians who see me with this thing look at me like, WTF?

A pile of Washington Post Magazines going back to the first Bush administration, all flipped open to either Dilbert or the Dave Barry column.

Lots of Home Depot circulars.

Garrison Keillor's Happy to Be Here. I'm self-conscious about this because the lit snobs I knew in college used to put him down. Those dumb bastards.
