Eric Idle - The Greedy B@stard Diary: A Comic Tour of America

by **sisterlondon** on Mon Jul 21, 2008 4:40 am

Hey Poisoned!

I haven't read "To the lighthouse", maybe because "The Waves" bored me a lot. But I've seen the film (starring my dear Kenneth Branagh, of course

)

Reading these days: Carbon Nation 8 (the Porcupine Tree fanzine!)

a Japanese book, Sakamoto Ryuichi no Ongaku (The Music Of Ryuichi Sakamoto)

very heavy, big, expensive, and difficult book!
but a few episodes of David, interesting.

Camera Lucida - Roland Barthes

by **lastgoldstar** on Wed Jul 23, 2008 1:36 am

Haven't had time to start anything new in awhile, but the last two I read were Kurt Vonnegut's Player Piano and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. I really enjoyed Piano and BNW was pretty good, but I did set really high expectations for it before I started. I have to say that 1984 is still my favorite.

I had to read that at university. Quite honestly I eventually took comfort from the fact that Mr Barthes met his end under the wheels of a laundry truck. Yup! I enjoyed his works THAT MUCH!

Hey! What if I wanted to read that someday?!?!?!?!

no worries kera... i'm reading it because i wanted to. I have to be honest... it is a bit thick reading in place. Reminds me a bit of Susan Sontag's writing's on photography/art... which for me is like hearing fingernails running down a chalkboard.
However, I thought I would give it a go... it has sat on my shelf for years. I have discovered some nice passages in it so far.

Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence piano score

I've never heard such beautiful harmonies on my piano

Been a while since I posted too....

Anyway, have been reading a great book called, "Round Up the Usual Suspects", it is the story behind the story of Casablanca. It is interesting in the fact that the movie had so many different writers and changes in the script while shooting, - it really should have not become the classic that I know and adore!

Ah-ha! Yes, 'a bit thick reading in places' yeah, understatement of the century so far! And you think Ms Sontag is heavy going - Barthes makes her look like J K Rowling!

OK, I'll concede: there are some quotable passages ...
Sorry Kera, if you really really want to read it - good luck to ya! You might even enjoy it ... stranger things have happened!
