Sunday Morning Book Thread 12-02-2018![]()
I thought these little wooden bookshelf inserts are clever: Japanese artist Monde has created a beautiful series of woodworks complete with a light switch! The Tokyo-based artist built and designed intricate, wooden bookshelf inserts that are like miniature dioramas of narrow alleyways you might find in the streets of Tokyo. I wonder if they have miniature thugs who will jump out and mug any unsuspecting mice who happen to be passing by.
Inanition: exhaustion caused by lack of nourishment. Usage: Similar to eating celery, activities such as watching CNN, reading the NY Times, or spending hours and hours on social media is an exercise in mental inanition. (h/t KT) ![]()
Last week, moron author naturalfake put in a good word for the old "Tom Swift": Holy Cow! I loved the Tom Swift series when a wee lad. The history of the Tom Swift books is a bit complicated. There are actually 5 distinct series within the main series with a sixth scheduled to begin publication in 2019. No word yet on whether Tom is going to tackle global warming, global cooling, misogyny in the STEM fields, or whether he will be recast as a gay tranny midget with herpes. The writing style of the early books gave rise to the the Tom Swifty, a type of pun in which a quoted sentence is linked by a pun to the manner in which it is attributed. For example, "That HCl stuff is pretty corrosive," said Tom acidly. Yeah, I know it's not very good. Here are some better ones from the wiki page: "That's the last time I'll stick my arm in a lion's mouth," the lion-tamer said off-handedly. Waiting for Muldoon in 3.. 2.. 1... Back in the day, my brother and I would make up our own titles for Tom Swift Books. Like "Tom Swift and His Electric Roach Clip." Or "Tom Swift and His Atomic Hookah." Yeah, this was the early 70s and marijuana was a thing, so, you know... You can purchase Kindle Editions of the Tom Swift books quite inexpensively. For example, The Tom Swift MEGAPACK® reprints 25 titles such as "Tom Swift and His Submarine Boat", "Tom Swift and His Electric Rifle", "Tom Swift and His Wizard Camera", "Tom Swift and His Big Tunnel" and "Tom Swift and His Giant Cannon", all for only 55 cents.
[Some of you might recognize this next pimpage as a repeat from last week. Which is my bad, I forgot to include it and ended up making it a late update. So I thought I'd give it a boost one more time. My apologies to the author.] Moron author Francis Porretto has just released the sequel to Innocents, an exporation of both the good and the unspeakable evil that come from genetic engineering and zygotic microsurgery. Experiences continues these topics: A neurophysiologist develops a technique for altering human desires... The first novel is NC-17 and this new one appears to be even more so. Not for the faint of heart. Note: If you don't know what 'futanari' is, you'd best not bing it. Especially not images. I'm embarrassed that I can tell you this. ___________ Moron author Max Cossack e-mailed to tell me of his wife's new book: Under the name “Ammo Grrrll,” Susan Vass writes a weekly Friday column on PowerLineBlog.com. The column is called “Notes from the Ammo Line.” She’s just put out a new book which is a collection of the first year’s columns. The Amazon blurb for this book is spectacularly useless. I got a much better feel for it from Susan's author page: Susan Vass was a standup comedian for over 30 years, logging several thousand performances from coast to coast. In 2010, when she retired, she and her husband, novelist Max Cossack, moved from Minnesota to Arizona where she took up walking in shorts outdoors in January and target shooting in the desert with a variety of pistols. Because of the vast number of hours spent in ammo lines waiting for scarce ammo during that period, Susan acquired the nickname Ammo Grrrll. Ammo Grrrll Hits The Target: A Humorist's Friday Columns From Power Line (Volume 1) contains her columns from 2014-2015 and the Kindle edition is $9.99. ___________
___________ So that's all for this week. As always, book thread tips, suggestions, bribes, insults, threats, ugly pants pics and moron library submissions may be sent to OregonMuse, Proprietor, AoSHQ Book Thread, at the book thread e-mail address: aoshqbookthread, followed by the 'at' sign, and then 'G' mail, and then dot cee oh emm. What have you all been reading this week? Hopefully something good, because, as you all know, life is too short to be reading lousy books. | Recent Comments
