Book Shelves #4, 1.22.2012

By edwinturner on  From biblioklept.org
Book shelves series #4, fourth Sunday of 2012: In which we finally leave the master bedroom and check out the books in my children’s rooms. In the  previous weeks , I illustrated that my kids — a girl and a boy, 4 and 1, respectively (tack on a “half” to each of those numbers if you care to) — my kids leave books all over the house. Their books are everywhere. They are as bad as I am. I indicated at the beginning of this year-long series that the documentation would never be stable or...Read Full Story

Take a look at sneak preview above, fire away in the comments below! “The Secret World of...Read Full Story

Riff on Recent Reading, 1.09.2012 (Gaddis, Vollmann, Dragons, Nausicaä, Patti Smith)

By edwinturner on  From biblioklept.org
1.  Just Kids , Patti Smith Really slowed down on this one, mostly because the spring semester hath begun, wreaking all sorts of destabilizing tasks on me. Momentum and reading habits will inevitably return. Anyway, Smith’s book is more or less a litany of famous meetings and infamous moments with lots and lots of descriptions of talismanic objects. The scene where she meets Allen Ginsberg is pretty cool. Smith presents herself as earnest, passionate, but also somehow at odds (or at least...Read Full Story

Books Acquired, 12.25.2011 (Walton Ford; Hayao Miyazaki)

By edwinturner on  From biblioklept.org
I finally got a copy of Walton Ford’s Pancha Tantra , a bestiary depicting the savage Darwinian competition between all biological species, including humans, whose encroachment upon animal habitats is examined in this book. Ford also explores themes of colonialism in his strange, naturalist paintings. My loving wife gave me this book. I took some clumsy photos with my iPhone which in no way do justice to this big, beautiful book; forgiveness please. My wife also gave me Hayao Miyazaki’s...Read Full Story

Perhaps it is a leftover from my ancient academic ambitions or the early development of my reading habit, but I tend to take stories more seriously than the average person. As a dad, I am also highly sensitive to the influence both stories and the broader culture have on my children. Young children are still [...]

Pod is a traditional strong male ... But if there is a message about the change in female roles, it's implicit. Nearly all Studio Ghibli films to date have been directed by either Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away) or Isao Takahata (Grave of the Fireflies ...
