Here's the key: Some shit is serious and I am serious when I talk about it because it requires the ability to be serious.

In the tradition of Quirk’s bestselling Secret Lives of the U.S. Presidents (100,000+ copies in print), here are outrageous and uncensored profiles of the world’s greatest writers, complete with hundreds of little-known, politically incorrect, and downright bizarre facts. Consider:# Edgar Allan Poe was kicked out of West Point Military Academy.# Louisa May Alcott was addicted to opium.# W. B. Yeats paid surgeons to transplant monkey glands into his scrotum.# J. R. R. Tolkien slept in his bathroom.# Kurt Vonnegut managed a Saab dealership before hitting the big time.With chapters on everyone from William Shakespeare to Thomas Pynchon, Secret Lives of Great Authors tackles all the tough questions your teachers were afraid to answer: What’s the deal with Lewis Carroll and little girls? Is it true that J. D. Salinger drank his own urine? Why was Ayn Rand such a big fan of Charlie’s Angels? The classics were never this much fun in school!ROBERT SCHNAKENBERG is a writer living in Brooklyn, New York.
Urbane Sicilian police inspector Salvo Montalbano, whose exploits have sold more than four million copies in Europe, makes his long overdue U.S. debut in this spare and spry English translation of the first novel in the series. When two garbage collectors find the body of local politician Silvio Luparello locked in his BMW with his pants down, in "the Pasture," the Vig…ta town dump frequented by whores and drug dealers, the coroner rules that Luparello died of natural causes, despite clear evidence to the contrary. Montalbano refuses to oblige his superiors who want a hasty close to the case, and it will take a corrupt lawyer's murder to break it open. The author's view of Sicily is the all-too-common one of a poor and backward place that many would like to see separated from the rest of Italy. Camilleri's strength lies in his gallery of eccentric characters: Signora Luparello, the victim's admirably cool widow; GegŠ, a pimp and old classmate of Montalbano's; Giosue Contino, an 82-year-old schoolteacher who shoots at people because he thinks his 80-year-old wife is cheating on him; and Anna Ferrara, Montalbano's attractive deputy, "who every now and then, for whatever reason, would try to seduce him." Even the two garbage men have Ph.D.s. The maverick Montalbano doesn't hesitate to destroy clues or extract money from a crook to help a child, but his wrapping up the case by telling rather than showing, while acceptable to European audiences, may disappoint action-oriented American fans.

Quote from: Eric P on September 14, 2008, 04:58:59 PMnewest Maximum Rock N Roll (Interview with John Stabb!)What is this putting spaces in the title bullshit? I don't think I've read this since I was like 17. I didn't know you still listened to enough music that the magazine covers. Truth be told, I'd probably still be reading it if my musical interests hadn't broadened. It's a really nifty fanzine, and it's kind of, I dunno, inspiring or something. It's impressive that each issue is independent, has a fuckload of content, and on some level feels passionate.
