Chester Brown: The playboy (2013, Drawn and Quarterly, Drawn & Quarterly)

Review of 'The playboy' on 'Goodreads'

Recently got into graphic novels as a way of procrastinating. Instead of going on Facebook, I pick up something, read, and then continue work.
Picked this up for 3 bucks and truly disappointed. While the topics of addiction, pornography and sexual education could have made an incredible story, this book does not even try hard.
I found out that a guy was buying playboys, masturbating, hiding them and sometimes thinking about the magazines. That is it.
Tho, I liked the graphics, that is why I won’t give it only a star.

Willa Cather, Jack Kerouac: Piers of the Homeless Night (Paperback, 2018, Penguin Books, Limited)

Review of 'Piers of the Homeless Night' on 'Goodreads'

Unable to finish this small piece by Kerouac. It just did not suit me, as I was flipping its pages and trying to grasp what he tried to say.
I do not want to leave Kerouac forever, just because of this small piece, but his style of writing, at least in this one, requires one's drastic attention in order to comprehend the message.
