My reading list: Daniel Clowes: "Eightball" - the latest issue, pretty nice; a new step in a new direction after "David Boring." Adrian Tomine- "Optic Nerve #8"- a beautiful and heartbreaking story that spans the entire issue. Chris Ware- the latest Acme Novetly issue. I'm ordering another copy to take apart and build. Neil Gaiman- "American Gods"- Modern fantasy the way I like it- with schlocky tuff-dood characters and metaphysical mayhem on a series of roadtrips. Umberto Eco- "Focault's Pendulum"- Like Aronovsky's "Pi" to the umpteenth exponent - on fake acid. Raymond Carver- "what we talk about when we talk about love" - He's got a schtick, but he's working it in a good way. andrew
