Not.Really.MstrC wants to read Dreamer of the day by Kevin Coogan
Not.Really.MstrC started reading The Zapatista Experience by Jérôme Baschet
The Introduction is just marvelous in terms of clarity, and the discussion of vision. The plan is to savor this one. People who are interested in Rojava would likely enjoy this, or benefit from it.
(AK Press edition. I hope I'm in the right place here.)
Not.Really.MstrC reviewed Cowboy Bebop, Book 3 by Yutaka Nanten (Cowboy Bebop, #3)
Better than Kool-Aid! -Cowboy Bebop Volume 3 (Yutaka Nanten, Hajime Yatate)
5 stars
Content warning Not really a spoiler.
Excellent series of Manga books about interplanetary bounty hunters in the future.
One ex- cop, one ex- underworld, one cryogenic over-sleeper, an orphan of sorts and a dog (regular dog, not a talking dog). Finally I picked it up again and finished. Turned out nicely. No downers, really.
Fun reading. All three issues in this series recommended.
I thought we had one of the issues from the other series, Shooting Star, around here someplace, but can't find it lately.

Not.Really.MstrC commented on Dreamer of the day by Kevin Coogan
Ordering this one from the publisher. Can't go wrong with Autonomedia. If I had realized this was from Autonomedia, would have ordered it long ago. If I still lived in NYC, would have checked out the library's copy. Certyainly there are no copies around here. The reviews on the Worldcat page are interesting, but, well, another deciding factor is the mentions that this one had on Dave Emory's show in the past. ( - wfmu.org/playlists/DX) Added this short description to the Open Library entry: openlibrary.org/books/OL358630M/Dreamer_of_the_day#about/about (Don't know if I should have but there you have it).
