Crack library
Oct. 22nd, 2006 01:29 am(It has come to my attention that most people I deal with now are not aware of the usage of the word "crack" that I have acquired. Stemming from "Evercrack", the notion of crack quickly expanded to include all engrossing video games, and even beyond that to any sort of shiny activity that takes up time that would be better spent on more fruitful pursuits.)
On a quest for solid, yet fluffy, reading material, I've recently purchased a few webcomic compilations of the comics that have been truly, truly inspired recently. First up was Narbonic books. These include volumes 1 and 3, 2 being out of print and out of stock for the forseeable future. It makes something of an abrupt jump in that missing year, too, since Narbonic has never been exactly slow-moving. I'm hoping that volume 2 reprints about when 4 appears, so I can combine another two purchases. As an added bonus, all Narbonic books are personally signed my the author. Also on the list was Order of the Stick, volumes 1 and 2, with 0 on order but delayed indefinitely. That's right, I now have the evilgasm comic in print. The OotS books are huge and meaty, too, with commentary from the author on his storytelling process that assumes you've read the strip already.
I'll admit - I wish I had a true storytelling talent. The skills that I do have rarely excite me... I would much, much rather be Shaenon Garrity or Rich Burlew than Bill Gates or Steve Jobs.
