I'm going to have to pay more attention to Light In The Attic; they seem to be all over reissuing cool stuff. I was really pretty impressed with the Betty Davis records they found and released, and very recently they reissued Black Monk Time by the Monks, which is so dang good.
I really love the way Alison Bechdel draws eyes. They almost always suggest a sense of weariness, even on children. Eyes are often said to be the most striking feature of the face, and in Bechdel's characters, it's true. There's something emotional-yet-guarded about them. Which makes sense, as there's so much being hidden amongst the characters in Fun Home.
So, I have finished Gravity's Rainbow! I'm not sure if this has messed with anyone the way I ended up doing the read-along, where the first four or so are 50 pages per, and then the last ones were about 150 pages per? Though I guess if it did, it's easy enough to just hold off on reading the others until you've caught up with each. I'm also throwing out the call that if anyone:
a) Was reading and b) Is interested, that if you'd like to post your own wrap-up type thoughts as a main article at Kittysneezes, I'd enjoy seeing it. (And given that everyone reads at a different rate, this is open for here on out, not just an immediate thing.)
So, anyway. THE BOOK. (and not Pointsman's.)
