Three Book Cases Catalogued So Far...

[Marxist]

Marxist, I'm impressed. That's a lot of work. The Garfield and Galbadon can NOT be yours. Did you read them?

And when you get done, would you like to help me do mine? I think I've about 5,000 books. My books have outlasted my husbands. I've ALWAYS had my books.

You have a few I'd like to read. Do you have any LeCarre? You should. I noticed you have some Hardy. Do you have any Eliot? (And you know with this group, they wanna know, so I'm going to ask: Besides the sexy sci-fi, do you have any porn?)

5,000? That's ridiculous. How did you have time for a husband? By my estimation that's about 142 shelves of books. For the love of God please let me come and peruse.

All the romance isn't mine, it's my gf's. As is a great deal of the Russian stuff. Although the spy stuff is mostly mine.

I don't really read much sexy stuff. I have the odd Henry Miller and about six anthologies but good sex tales are hard to cum by. Any recommendations?

So, I've done my CD's, Marxist has done his books.

Next will have to be someone's DVD collection.

Oh, and by the way, Joe R. Lansdale should be an addition to your bookshelf. Just a little personal recommendation.

While we're on the topic of reccommendations, I'd like to offer up I, Carmelita Tropicana a collection of works by Cuban-American artist Alina Troyano, who does much with gender-bending and border-crossing, she's a fantastic writer, and if her set descriptions and commands are anything to go by, a phenomenal director and performer.

I've easily got 5,000 books, but I have the advantage of deducting the cost of many of them from my taxes, as I buy them for my work.

If you are into spy novels, I recommend Alan Furst. I've just torn through three of his World War Two era spy novels, and they were all very good.

But where or where do you house 140 shelves?

And I'm not really into the spy novel so much as spy non-fiction. Y'know, Kim Philby and that sort of thing. It's much better than fiction and usually more outrageous. Have you read any of Pete Earley's stuff?

I have books in double rows on shelfs. I have books stacked in the corners. I have books in milk crates. Books piled all over my desk. I wouldn't be surprised if there are books in the refrigerator.

I have not read Earley.

So, Marxist, in case you didn't know, the film version of A Scanner Darkly is in the works. There's good news and bad news about this depending on your particular tastes.

Number one, Keanu Reeves is starring. Number two, an original script was written by Charlie Kaufman but that's not the one they're using. Third, it's directed by Richard Linklater and will employ the same types of animation effects he used in Waking Life.

Give me your address please. Me and the crew will be right over to spend a weekend digging through your stacks.

That sounded dirtier than I intended....

Keanu is not as bad as people let on to be. He needs solid direction and something to do (witness "Speed") rather than say (that Shakespeare movie).

I like Kaufman and Linklater quite a bit BUT haven't they butchered poor Dick's work enough?

While I did like Bladerunner and Minority Report as movies, I don't think I've ever seen a film that actually stuck to the spirit of one of his novels, let alone the story.

The only novel of his that I'm dying for a movie version of is "The Man In The High Castle" directed by someone like DePalma. But I don't see this ever happening.
