![]() ![]() I also started The Shadow Rising by Robert Jordan, but I don’t expect to have time to finish that one until at least next week. I had expected this to be a faster read, but the second installment is significantly longer than the first one. I have also started volume 2 of The Sandman graphic novel by Neil Gaiman. ![]() ![]() I’m really curious but also anxious and a little scared to see how the series ends because of lines like this:īecause a story where the decent ones die and the scoundrels live and carry on doing what they want is full of shit. ![]()

![]() ![]() Weinstock lovingly examines the use of tattoos, pink triangles, queer cinema and explains the revolutionary 1970's social/sexual politics of the film which has now become today's norm. This book is like the Cliff's Notes to the movie. ![]() Jeffery Weinstock knows his Critical Theorists (Lacan, Saussure) and I wish I went to CMU so I could take a class from him. I love intelligent writing and, like Janet's "awakening" this book opened my eyes to the film's subtle deconstructionism of subtext. The author uses lots of big words and points out many references I missed as a "virgin". Excuse me a minute while I go do the time warp!Īs an English major I was very impressed by this critical analysis of a classic cult film. Yay! I get to be the first one to review this book. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is Nekokurage's first manga adaptation of a light novel series.
