Highly Recommended Books That are Drawn in Pencil
1. I really thought Warren Craghead's How To Be Everywhere was an incredible book.
2. Also in pencil, Curio Cabinet #3 goes on my short list of perfect mini-comics--in ink. Currently hard to find. I'll let you know when I figure out where you can get one.

Apocalyptic Imagination
...Well, I know that the apocalyptic imagination is usually a lack of imagination; it refuses to face the dull prose of suffering, refuses to understand just how bad things can get without history coming to an end. Empires can limp on for centuries.-metameat
...My framed Ulysses poster fell off the wall and shattered, but I’m the kind of guy who keeps a spare framed Ulysses poster in the basement.

Talking Heads
Someone should make a program that automatically selects the talking heads--just the heads--of people on CNN and fuzz out all the background bustle and sexy graphic framing and the maddening crawl and DOW Jones numbers...
