srboone's collection

Thanks, Pete. It's amazing the things I can pull out of the closet of my carefree college days! That's what I've been doing waiting for some books to arrive. (My CD Early Reader's package is scheduled to arrive while I'm in Dallas, among other books). If it put a smile on some people's faces, it was worthwhile.

I noticed that some rowing team has a Facebook Wall of resons rowing is better than sex; but that was established in 2007--the T-shirt dates back to 1990.

Not the Cheylin Cougars, I hope. Might have a problem, there. But that's highly unlikely, right?....right?...right?

Just picked up today (Trade HC).

His latest historical conspiracy put-on. This one apparently has a character so odius, vile and hated that the author has been accused of anti-Semitism. I don't know about that; I just think that his books are highly ironic in nature and simply not for the philosopically gullible. He might be an intellectual snob, but his novels are experiences that are not soon forgotten. He is a professor of semiotics (the study of signs, omens and portents in language---I had to look that one up) at the University of Bologna.

The art in the book is a combination of actual newspaper drawings, artworks from the 1800s and items from his personal collection (whatever that means).

No, it was the Fallston Cougars, here in MD.

Maybe this is one of his own drawings, I don't know; but there are quite a few of this type in the book.
