I'm still impressed by the variety, though the book on bisexual politics, He's a Stud, She's a Slut, and I'd Rather We Got Casinos definitely made my own to-read list.
A) I have a harback collection of the Perry Bible Fellowship and it is a gloriously horrendous departure from all things proper when you just need a moment to say "FUCK YOU WORLD"
*ahem*
B) *bows down in awe* I love this collection of books and I can't wait to tackle a few myself...mostly I will be reading books that have already been languishing on my own reading list forever (holy f*&k I've been "reading" Self Made Man and Eye of the World for nearly a year), but I will definitely be stealing some of these recs.
C) I think I friended you just after you did the posts on Art Spiegelman's book, thus I was ridiculously squeeful when I saw them here ^_^ (incidentally, one of my mixed favorite moments of TCR was when Neil Gaiman recommended Art to illustrate Stephen's so-called children's book Fuck it, We're All Going To Die...and Stephen completely failed to respond *sigh*)
C-2) Have you read Alison Bechdel's Fun Home? It's a glorious autobiographic graphic novel. At some point soon I hope to scan and post a comic essay she did

A) *JEALOUS BECAUSE I LOVE TPBF SO HARD!* Seriously, it's almost ridiculously hilarious. His exquisite (if we want to call it that? ^_~) art just adds to it.
B) BAH! It's amazing what one can accomplish with no life. ;^) And I'm with you on reading stuff forever (meaning having it half read and sitting there on your nightstand/other for MONTHS).
C) *lip wibble* WE ARE BONDED (more so) BY THE GENIUS OF SPIEGELMAN!!! That was a favorite of mine, too. And knowing Neil hangs out with Art and Francois (and was seeing them later that evening) was bliss. I'm with you on Stephen's failed response :^( but I give him credit for having a nerdgasm he couldn't keep out of character when Neil mentioned Tolkien. :^D :^D :^D OT, but I managed to be rereading Maus whilst reading Nigger and Making History and getting miserably depressed and wondering why. DX FAIL. Good that they touch us enough to depress us that way, though (notice the small D on depression).
C-2) I have! I read that and Persepolis around the same time since when the movie for

A) XD The artowork is exquisite - I love several artists who manage to make their style seem 'simple', yet include ridiculous amounts of detail and, what I truly love about comics, excellent scene framing. I mean, look how friggin' hilarious this one strip is without words (other than the poster which is fairly arbitrary because we've all seen similar posters

And I completely forgot the book we talked about, Full Frontal Feminism, whose author (Feministing co-founder Jessica Valenti, the same author as He's a Stud, She's a Slut) got an awesome character break from Stephen. ^_^
