Man, I sound almost eloquent in that other review. Luckily, the years of substance abuse have taken their toll, and now I’m left with a tiny, tiny brain. Sorry about the psychedelic effect on the cover, my scanner strikes again. Oh, and before I forget, this book was serialized on a website that I should mention a lot more, Serializer.net. Good stuff from lots of good people, but I never seem to find time to mention it. What about this book? Well, as a bunch or random, unconnected stories and ideas, it obviously doesn’t come together all that well. That doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t find some serious value in its parts. Explored in here are concepts of time, drunkenness, quiet, cows, working, commitment, and power. Some of the strongest pages of the book are the ones that are silent, exploring the quiet of certain stories, giving the reader time to sit back and just look. It’s a bit hefty at $8.95, but it’s a gorgeous book, inside and out. Granted, you can probably see most of the pages on the aforementioned website, but I’m a much bigger fan of the actual paper. One more website to give, and then you’ll have all three that are in the back of his book (along with the one you’ll get if you scroll up). Check this out if you’re in a quiet, thoughtful mood.
