With the new changes coming to the website as a whole, will Wrapped Up in Books be coming back anytime soon?

Here I am.

In a perfect world…
…the podcast would be retitled "King Shit of Fuck Mountain" but I'll settle for whatever you think is best.

The Half-Made World was one of my favorite reads this year too. When you think about all the different things he's mixing together to tell his story, it should be an awful mess, but Gilman really pulls it all off effortlessly.

Moment of the Show for Me
Was a fairly quiet one. Gretchen was telling Tim about her blight with an ex and having no money, and Tim told her about him breaking up from an intense relationship, and how it led to him moving to New York. One of the things that really has elevated this season from the past two or three…

Sweet Christmas! She DOES look like Beaker! The veil has been lifted from my eyes. Everything is so much clearer and distinct!

Arthur
I liken the long-running PBS show Arthur as The Simpsons for the grade school set. The show is not aimed at adults, but like Spongebob, the jokes are so well done and unabashedly silly at times, I often find myself laughing along with my son. The show features a wide cast of characters across one town, and -…

I celebrated 90210 day…
…by just learning here that it's 90210 day. All done!

Great Article…
but no mention of his acting?

Helpful Hint!
A truly great impressionist will always begin the impression by having the celebrity introduce himself at the beginning of an imaginary phone conversation.

"Sullied" is right.
It seems like the comics were, and will always be the best way to experience Sandman. That said, a HBO series would be worth watching just for the episode "24 Hours" from the first story arc. *takes puff from inhaler*

So explain to me again…
How Apple TV isn't just an Xbox that doesn't play games?

China Tears
There's a video on the Bravo site where China explains the emotions behind Mark's ousting on the show. She basically felt that Mark was finally exhibiting a bravery and advancing his work out of his comfort zone by exposing his scar-ridden gelatinous torso, and was unjustly punished for it while Jaclyn is…

Whoa! Thanks for the link.

Huh-huh-huh.
I don't really have much more to add to this particular topic. But Zack mentioning Beavis and Butthead! Now I am imagining Beavis and Butthead interacting with the characters in Destroy and how that would be just the most perfect and beautiful thing in the world.

I'm with Zack and Ellen
Like Zack and Ellen, the motif of destruction, and the presence of violence, implied or otherwise, went almost completely by me. I was more attentive to the themes of madness that we discussed earlier. The forest seemed to me little more than another facet of the character's crazy-tinted view…

Madness
I'll keep the comments brief this go-around. The whole tone of this book was so slightly off, that I couldn't help wonder if Duras herself experienced some sort of breakdown while writing and revising. The whole book feels so dark and ready to explode, yet calculated and precise. Duras' style was definitely…

Obviously, I don't think enough of Hemingway to spell his name correctly.
