Quote
Out of print for nearly twenty years, Michael Moorcock’s seminal study of epic fantasy, WIZARDRY & WILD ROMANCE, is once more available. Newly revised, expanded and updated by the author, this invaluable work analyzes the Fantasy genre from its earliest beginnings in Medieval romances, on through the notable practitioners like Howard, Lovecraft and Tolkien, and up to the brightest lights in the field today. Insightful and often controversial, this is a book every fantasy reader should have on their shelf.

i'm really familiar with early sci-fi and early horror and the like, but because i was never REALLY a fantasy person so I don't have a knowledge of the early forms of the genre.

Post by: Kestastrophe on May 12, 2008, 02:01:18 PM: I plan on picking up a copy of The Bigs from my local Target later today. It is stickered for $15, but there is a $10 off coupon at CAG, thus my grand total will be $5.

I'm picking it up tonight at midnight at Sonic Boom Records in Ballard (Seattle). Members of the band showed up there for the midnight releases of Transatlanticism and Plans, so I'm guessing they'll be there again.

I'm not big on beauty and shit, but Umberto's book on ugliness in art was so awesome that I wanted its companion piece.

Airport Girl was confused, but now she keeps going on about how I should drop out of college and share an apartment with her in Savannah, GA.

She isn't that confused anymore. I'm glad I always carry condoms in case of unemergencies.

Yeah don't ever do that. If you are going to drop out and go into dirty poorsville, Georgia is an exceptionally poor choice of venue.

Love me some Indian food, wouldn't mind learning how to cook it but it always seems like it would be a ton of work and leave the kitchen smelling horribly for a while afterwards.
