It's ok, not as good as Douglas Coupland's books about Gen-X.

from what I've heard it's very much based on the linguistics of english language, of the words and different meanings they can get. That means, reading that in other language (i read it in Czech) you kind of lose a little bit of that spell.

yes yes-- the local comix nerd at the store told me all about it-- there is a prequel called "those left behind" that deals with the serenity years between the series & the movie. this comes after but it's the same-- pre-movie, in the timeline of events, just called "serenity". first issue is very funny! and the art is really good.

i gotta say, i love small stores where people *really* know their shit. fuck buying on the internet when your money can support the existence of a creature like my local comic books store nerds. seriously.

and i blame transmetropolitan on you, ha ha ha-- you sent me that first PDF.

I wrote a 10 page paper on it in college.

PS - The kids are the ones who know "what's up."

The Penguin Book of Rock and Roll Writing

Has a coupla good articles by Patti Smith from her Creem writing days, one of them on the Stones. Main reason I checked it out, for her writing. Some other interesting stuff throughout, including a thing by Lou Reed.
