Re: The 2013 Book Challenge

Yeah, George Saunders is kind of a funky writer. Civilwarland was very up and down in my opinion. Farewell to Arms is definitely not one of Hemingway's better books - it felt a bit like he relied too much on factual information from his past in this one (which I know he does a lot), and it lacked mu...

Re: The 2013 Book Challenge

Hey Jon - I don't know if you've read A Moveable Feast by Hemingway, but I think it is the most accurate description of Fitzgerald there is. I would suggest it if you're interested. 1. A Dialogue on Personal Identity and Immortality, John Perry 2. Steppenwolf, Herman Hesse 3. The Great Gatsby, F. Sc...

Re: The 2012 Fifty Book Challenge

47 - so close. Following Jeremy's lead. Picking a top 3 is real tough. I read a lot of good books this year. 1. One Hundred Years of Solitude, Marquez Number one is pretty easy, though. This guy is a master of narrative and language. One of the most dense works of fiction I've ever read, and I don't...

Re: Post your artwork/photography...

Vellum has a little bit rougher texture - I prefer smooth, but both are pretty good. Also, I would take everything I say with a little bit of skepticism - I have pretty strong opinions on drawing but that doesn't mean I'm right. ;) I will say that the dark area behind the head in the photograph woul...

Re: Post your artwork/photography...

Thanks for thinking of me, here's a few thoughts: 1. By wood pen I think you mean 'pencil'? Just making sure - I understand english isn't your first language. 2. Very good for your second go at it. You've got the important proportions down pretty well before you go too far, which is smart. 3. It loo...
