A story about the last time I consumed "Dracula"

nobody@allconsuming.net (fishymusic1) — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 12:30:14 GMT

by Bram Stoker

I read the annotated version (Leonard Wolf) and even though the notes gave major plot keys away before they happened in the story, I understood so much more of the story than if I had read a normal version. It was bittersweet.

It is such a good suspense-filled story that I will probably read it again before I die. Also, I am now fully equipped to deal with a vampire attack, should the occasion ever arise.

A story about "Witness Number 7"

Witness Number 7

by Todd Hido

This was in the “new books” section of my library, and I had been looking for books of architectural photography. When I read it, I learned that the photos were taken in the early 1990’s, but their content is so relevant to right now that I thought they had been taken last year.

Really gorgeous photos, and proves that walls do speak.

Why I recommend "Eva Hesse Drawing"

Eva Hesse Drawing

I LOVE EVA HESSE!

This book has so many images that really reveal her working style. It’s so helpful to see a conceptual artist’s process opened up like that. I’ve started to adopt some of her habits as my own.

The works, even scribbles and rough sketches are beautiful.

A Typographic Workbook: A Primer to History, Techniques, and Artistry

by Kate Clair

I read this book for my typography class, and it explains things that appear to be “common sense” for experienced designers but a mystical mystery to everyone else. It’s good to keep around as a guide that is probably quicker than trying to find an answer on the internet.
