Penny Dreadful

Just finished Joseph Campbell's The Hero With a Thousand Faces.  I was somewhat familiar with the monomyth from my grad studies, but the original book itself it fascinating (if a bit dense at times).  Next up is something a little lighter - Ghostmasters: A Look Back at America's Midnight Spook Shows.

Reading DETECTIVE STORIES FROM "THE STRAND" 1891-1950--besides the expected Doyle stories, a wide range of interesting writers--some I know, like W.W.Jacobs, G.K. Chesterton, Somerset Maugham, etc, and many are unknown to me.  Excellent stuff!  Thanks to friend Max, the Drunken Severed Head, and his wife Jane, MzLaveau, for this gift!

I was browsing in Half Price Books today when I came across this:



Hollow Earth by David Standish. This was a lucky find, as I've been working on a writing project for some time now, and thinking of a sequel that would use hollow earth ideas as a backdrop. This book looks pretty comprehensive.

So the only way to get to Pellucidar is from the North or South pole?

Is this the way in? http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread495433/pg1

Reading Joe Bob Briggs' Joe Bob Goes to the Drive In, almost done with it and its pretty funny along with good reviews.  Next up is probably Mike Nelson's Movie Megacheese.

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.
