That's a completely nostalgic four stars of course. Has there been a writer whose reputation has plummeted quite so much between the 70s and now as jolly Jack and his tales of merry misogynism? But like Bob Dylan saysWhile riding on a train goin’ westI fell asleep for to take my restI dreamed a dream that made me sadConcerning myself and the first few friends I hadWith half-damp eyes I stared to the roomWhere my friends and I spent many an afternoonWhere we together weathered many a stormLaughin’ and singin’ till the early hours of the mornWith haunted hearts through the heat and coldWe never thought we could ever get oldWe thought we could sit forever in funBut our chances really was a million to oneAs easy it was to tell black from whiteIt was all that easy to tell wrong from rightAnd our choices were few and the thought never hitThat the one road we traveled would ever shatter and splitWell that was me and my pals. I know where each of them are to this day, but we don't see each other. The choices multiplied and it became no longer easy to tell black from white.  Back then we built a whole galaxy of heroes up from wild trips to the art house cinema to quarry Bergman or Pasolini from the granite cliffs of existentialism, or raids on libraries and second hand bookshops when we got to hear first about Kerouac and Kesey, not to mention Tolkien and Mervyn Peake, not to mention Emily Dickinson and Captain Beefheart and folk music and Alan Lomax and Alan Watts and John Fahey and Buffy Sainte-Marie. In those days every discovery hit like an express train and every bookshelf held high explosives. Life is not lived at that intensity for too many years. So forgive me for my four stars for Kerouac, the old bum, the old broke down disgraced beat with his typing not writing and every other reviewer on this site liking to put the boot in, and justified too, really, they're not good books - would I recommed any young person with any marbles to read nearly the whole of Kerouac's pile of typing as I myself did? NO!! Read almost anything BUT Kerouac! But my half damp eyes are staring back to that room. It was on Willow Road in Carlton. You can find it on Google Earth but some other people live there now.

All-Star Superman is a twelve-issue American comic book series featuring Superman that was published by DC Comics. The series ran from November 2005 to October 2008. The series was written by Grant Morrison, drawn by Frank Quitely, and digitally inked by Jamie Grant. DC claimed that this series would "strip down the Man of Steel to his timeless, essential elements".The series was the second to be launched in 2005 under DC's All-Star imprint, the first being All Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder. These series were attempts by DC to allow major comics creators a chance to tell stories showcasing these characters without being restricted by DC Universe continuity.Grant Morrison's approach to writing this series was to make the reading as universal as possible. He stated that he was not interested in "re-doing origin stories or unpacking classic narratives" but instead wanted to do "a total update, rehaul and refit". However, rather than just creating a "fresh and relevant" update for new readers, Morrison wanted to write a "collection of ‘timeless’ Superman issues". The origins of this lie in a revamp of Superman, Superman Now, which began when Morrison and editor Dan Raspler were unsuccessfully brainstorming ideas for a new take on the character outside the San Diego Comic Con, when they had a "shamanic" encounter with a man dressed as Superman which helped spark the creative process and inspired the cover to the first issue. Morrison states in an interview:

Book One is apparently volumes 1 &amp; 2, but even though I've already read and reviewed the first one, I still ended up reading most* of it again as a refresher. *In other words, I skimmed the first few pages, realized I'd forgotten all of the plot details, and started reading in earnest immediately.Stop judging me, Rick!Since I'm somewhat late to The Walking Dead phenomenon (Kelly has theorized that I'm some sort of ALIEN goddess from the stars), I'm going to try not to spoil anything for the other people from my planet. Planet Anne! I like the sound of that! It can be a safe haven for all the sad little geriatric aliens in the multiverse. You know, the ones who don't get pop culture references, and still need help figuring out the difference between Twitter and Tumbler. Wait. It's \
  Tumblr?!\
 So they spelled it wrong on purpose? Whyyyyyyyy?! Why do you people wanna screw with me like this?I've only recently mastered the art of LOLing properly!For years, I thought it was some odd sound people made when they laughed. Yes. Really. I mean, I have an obnoxious laugh, so I just assumed others did as well...Whatever, I can now LOL at things just like the kids!Unfortunately, I still can't Twit, and I have no idea how to Tumble. Baby steps, baby steps...Um, ok. What was my original point? Crap. No idea.Oh, yes! The Walking Dead!  Now, I've mentioned this before, but I simply LOVE that the zombies in this series are of the shuffle-shuffle variety, and not the zoom-zoom class. You have to be totally surprised by one of these suckers in order for it to get it's undead jaws on you. All that's required of these characters to survive is to avoid dark alleys, creepy basements, thickly wooded areas, and nutters who keep pet zombies in their barns hoarder-style. I firmly believe that if the Zombie Apocalypse happens, and these are what I'm faced with, I could speed-walk my way to safety. Me + Snazzy Shorts = Escaping Like A Boss!The point is ( there really is a point this time!), the real monsters in The Walking Dead aren't the zombies. The surviving humans are far more monstrous than any of the rotting corpses. You would think that if humanity was on the brink of extinction, we'd all band together like extras in a Coca Cola commercial, right? (view spoiler)[Of course, you do realize that pop-pop-fizz-fizz sound that it makes when you open it, is indicative to what it does to your insides...Ahhhh! Refreshing!  (hide spoiler)]

\
  I know what I'm doing.\
 Do you, Mr. Moon Knight? Do you really?Because I don't think you do.I think you're a jackass mental patient with a penchant for getting your ass handed to you by everyone you meet. While wearing a white outfit.Why? Why are you wearing white?! Idiot!Dirt, road grease, and all of the random gore (from your multiple ass-kickings) will be impossible to get out! I don't give a shit what the Oxyclean guy says, nothing gets copious amounts of blood out of fabric.And, to top it off, you suck with the ladies.So 'supposedly' the Egyptian moon god Khonshu raised you from the dead.And...what? Was that it? \
  *insert Khonshu doing mythical/magical stuff*And Rama Lima Ding Dong, bitch! You're alive!\
Ok. So if this moon god took the time to keep your sorry ass from dying, there must have been a reason. He must have expected you to do something important, and given you special abilities to go with your new lease on life, right?Well, as far as I can tell, the only thing Khonshu gave you was a trio of imaginary friends.Or maybe you already had that *cough* ability.I'm not sure how I feel about this title. In all fairness, it didn't suck. I guess I just expected...more?Especially after reading Jeff, 'kris, and Mike's reviews.Also, every time I talked to Jeff, he was like, "Hulk loves Bendis' Moon Knight! Hulkity, Hulkity, Hulk. Hulk. Hulk. Moon Knight yummy! Hulkity, Hulk, Hulk.".Swear to God, that's what he sounds like.*gak* KIDDING! *gak*My point is fuck you! I have a point! that I can see why nobody knows who this guy is, but I'm also going into volume two with hope that Bendis can make me care about this whack-a-doodle.I mean, there were moments in this where I was so into it that I was sure I was going to love it and then the love just slid through my fingers like all of the unrealized dreams from my youth. Plus, there were plenty of chuckles along the way. So. Definitely not a total loss, or a garbage comic.But something was missing for me. At the end of it, I felt too much of a disconnect with the characters for it to be a true winner.Much like Marc Spector, I'm a bit conflicted. 

This direction for the Avengers was the result of a discussion between Bendis and Mark Millar about the possibility of the Avengers title being like the then popular alt-universe The Ultimates (read: good, not sucky). So it was out with bringing back a teen-aged Tony Stark to fight an evil, crazy older Tony and other hackish plots and in with more nuanced, character driven, snappy dialogue heavy storylines.So what’s on the agenda?Blowing sh*t up and killing off a few Avengers!Didn’t there used to be a mansion here?Yay! And happy 500th issue team!The story starts off normally – Avengers dudes sit around discussing which villainess they’d do the deed with.And Barton, you are a pig. Madame Hydra!?! I’m thinking Titania (really big, buxom, reminds of my first girlfriend) or The Enchantress (enchanting) or maybe that bald-headed space chick…Then stuff gets weird. Tony Stark addressing the UN seems like he’s on the ultimate bender.Dead Avengers pay the Avengers Mansion a visit.And then the proverbial crap hits the fan. Seemingly, all at once.She Hulk goes on a rampage…Hey, it’s Ultron……and family.The Kree pay a visit…We don’t need no stinkin’ Vision. Do we?So who’s behind this, Doctor Strange?Uh...Rage?…Squirrel Girl?...(view spoiler)[   (hide spoiler)]

Though he’s only been Spider-Man for a New York minute, Miles Morales’ secret is already out – his uncle Aaron knows that he’s the new webslinger! But the unmasking and secret-identity-reveals doesn’t stop there as Miles discovers his uncle Aaron is the super-thief, the Prowler! The question is: what will shady Uncle Prowler do with this valuable intel…? Brian Bendis serves up a great sequel with Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man, Volume 2. My one critique is a familiar one for Bendis: the story’s pacing is damn near glacial! Aside from Prowler finding out Spider-Man’s secret identity, nowt much else happens in this book. Miles gets to grips with his new powers and the rest of the cast is introduced from the big bad to supporting characters like Captain Quaid of the NYPD. Bendis gives way too much space to what is basically just table-setting. That said, it’s undeniably well-written, even entertaining at times (though the obligatory villain fights were predictably monotonous – Omega Red? The Ringer?? Yawn), so I didn’t mind all the wheel-spinning too much. And this book has a stunning line-up of A-list artistic talent: joining Sara Pichelli are Chris Samnee and David Marquez. It’s a helluva good-looking comic – very slick, very shiny, as you’d expect for a top tier character like this. The second Miles Morales Spidey book was a bit slow for my taste but I still enjoyed it a lot for the most part – Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man continues to be an impressively accomplished title.

This TPB collects the original miniseries “Daredevil: The Man Without Fear” #1-5Creative Team:Writer: Frank MillerIllustrator: John Romita, Jr.\
  THE DEVIL YOU DON’T KNOW\
\
  There are times when Matt is glad to be blind. People depend on their eyes for almost everything. They miss so much.\
I knew about Marvel’s Daredevil. I have read a crossover with The Magdalena. I had watched that mediocre movie, but until I watched that TV masterpiece made on Netflix, it was when I really got to know about Daredevil and his inner world inside of the Marvel Universe.People say that Marvel lacks of Batman to be complete. Well, that people are wrong. Marvel doesn’t need Batman, Marvel has Daredevil and that’s plenty enough.Matt Murdock suffered an accident, when he was a kid, with a truck with chemicals, saving the life of a walking blind man. He got blind himself, but those chemicals did something on his body and now all his other senses are enhanced to superhuman levels. He studied laws and now he protects Hell’s Kitchen during the day as a lawyer and on night as the vigilante known as “Daredevil”.\
  PLAY DEVIL’S ADVOCATE\
\
  He remembers the last time he lost control. He remembers shattering window glass. He remembers a pathetic prayer to God…\
This TPB, Daredevil: The Man Without Fear, tells the origin of Matt Murdock. From his childhood before the fateful accident, his relationship with his dad, how got to be trained in fighting arts, his first encounters with crutial people to his own life like “Foggy” Nelson and Elektra Natchios, and his first mission against Kingpin’s operations.Matt Murdock has a very special gift and the potential to become something formidable, but he will find out that he always have to be in control, because a miscalculation in a movement while fighting and he will have a too heavy burden for the rest of his life.He is not perfect, he is not a holy crusader, he is not a saint. Hell’s Kitchen doesn’t need a saint, it needs a devil... a Daredevil. Matt only wants to protect innocent people in all possible ways, with the law on his side as advocate, and against the law as vigilante. He doesn’t like bullies. Bullies must pay...and they will pay... HARD.\
  WHAT THE DEVIL?\
\
  Bullies never need a reason\
The story is solid, but there were some things that I found kinda odd.First, Matt when he was a kid, some schoolmates put him a nickname... “Daredevil”.... and he hated it.Okay, first, being called “Daredevil” is not that bad, in fact I can’t find it bad at all, so I don’t understand why he was so pissed about it. He must be grateful to have such lame bullies on his school that the best “insult” that they’d think of was calling him “Daredevil”. Also, he returns to Hell’s Kitchen as adult, so I think that it’s must be quite likely that some of those bullies are still around (now as adults too) in the neighborhood. So, taking as your “battle name” the same nickname that you had as a kid is kinda dumb since some of those men can guess who is under the mask. In other topic, the Kingpin is briefly introduced killing his predecessor in the mob, and the scene indicates that he was some kind of assistant until that moment, but later is mentioned that he “trained” an assassin, but that’s kinda odd, being able to be “training” his own enforcers if he was still a shadowy assistant not long ago yet.I know that Elektra is really important in Matt’s life but her presence in the story lacks to justify the invested pages on her. If you aren’t previously aware of her importance, you could easily wondering what was the deal of having her in the book.And certainly, taking in account that that’s an origin’s story, it was a disappointment that Matt’s mother was presented so briefly and without exposing any details about her. I am sure that her own story must be quite good.Besides all that, definitely this is a great story, well written, with good artwork and a must-be reading to any Daredevil fan and/or anybody interested to know in detail about the comic book character.

Strange visitor from another world who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel in his bare hands ... and who, as the champion of the common worker, fights a never-ending battle for Stalin, Socialism, and the international expansion of the Warsaw Pact.In this Elseworlds tale, a familiar rocketship crash-lands on Earth carrying an infant who will one day become the most powerful being on the planet. But his ship doesn't land in America. He is not raised in Smallville, Kansas. Instead, he makes his new home on a collective in the Soviet Union!Collecting SUPERMAN: RED SON #1-3.

The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched first-hand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living, or at least the undead, hell of that dreadful time. World War Z is the result. Never before have we had access to a document that so powerfully conveys the depth of fear and horror, and also the ineradicable spirit of resistance, that gripped human society through the plague years.Ranging from the now infamous village of New Dachang in the United Federation of China, where the epidemiological trail began with the twelve-year-old Patient Zero, to the unnamed northern forests where untold numbers sought a terrible and temporary refuge in the cold, to the United States of Southern Africa, where the Redeker Plan provided hope for humanity at an unspeakable price, to the west-of-the-Rockies redoubt where the North American tide finally started to turn, this invaluable chronicle reflects the full scope and duration of the Zombie War.Most of all, the book captures with haunting immediacy the human dimension of this epochal event. Facing the often raw and vivid nature of these personal accounts requires a degree of courage on the part of the reader, but the effort is invaluable because, as Mr. Brooks says in his introduction, "By excluding the human factor, aren't we risking the kind of personal detachment from history that may, heaven forbid, lead us one day to repeat it? And in the end, isn't the human factor the only true difference between us and the enemy we now refer to as 'the living dead'?"Note: Some of the numerical and factual material contained in this edition was previously published under the auspices of the United Nations Postwar Commission.

"Remember, remember the fifth of November..."A frightening and powerful tale of the loss of freedom and identity in a chillingly believable totalitarian world, V for Vendetta stands as one of the highest achievements of the comics medium and a defining work for creators Alan Moore and David Lloyd.Set in an imagined future England that has given itself over to fascism, this groundbreaking story captures both the suffocating nature of life in an authoritarian police state and the redemptive power of the human spirit which rebels against it. Crafted with sterling clarity and intelligence, V for Vendetta brings an unequaled depth of characterization and verisimilitude to its unflinching account of oppression and resistance.

This masterpiece of modern comics storytelling brings to vivid life a dark world and an even darker man. Together with inker Klaus Janson and colorist Lynn Varley, writer/artist Frank Miller completely reinvents the legend of Batman in his saga of a near-future Gotham City gone to rot, ten years after the Dark Knight's retirement. Crime runs rampant in the streets, and the man who was Batman is still tortured by the memories of his parents' murders. As civil society crumbles around him, Bruce Wayne's long-suppressed vigilante side finally breaks free of its self-imposed shackles. The Dark Knight returns in a blaze of fury, taking on a whole new generation of criminals and matching their level of violence. He is soon joined by this generation's Robin—a girl named Carrie Kelley, who proves to be just as invaluable as her predecessors.But can Batman and Robin deal with the threat posed by their deadliest enemies, after years of incarceration have made them into perfect psychopaths? And more important, can anyone survive the coming fallout of an undeclared war between the superpowers—or a clash of what were once the world's greatest superheroes?Over fifteen years after its debut, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns remains an undisputed classic and one of the most influential stories ever told in the comics medium.Collecting Batman: The Dark Knight Returns #1-4

The Old Man and the Sea is a novella written by the American author Ernest Hemingway in 1951 in Cayo Blanco (Cuba), and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction written by Hemingway that was published during his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it tells the story of Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream off the coast of Cuba.

The portrayal of Stephen Dedalus's Dublin childhood and youth, his quest for identity through art and his gradual emancipation from the claims of family, religion and Ireland itself, is also an oblique self-portrait of the young James Joyce and a universal testament to the artist's 'eternal imagination'. Both an insight into Joyce's life and childhood, and a unique work of modernist fiction, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a novel of sexual awakening, religious rebellion and the essential search for voice and meaning that every nascent artist must face in order to blossom fully into themselves.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a foundational work of Western literature and is widely considered to be Friedrich Nietzsche’s masterpiece. It includes the German philosopher’s famous discussion of the phrase ‘God is dead’ as well as his concept of the Superman. Nietzsche delineates his Will to Power theory and devotes pages to critiquing Christian thinking, in particular Christianity’s definition of good and evil.

As only he can, Aldous Huxley explores the mind's remote frontiers and the unmapped areas of human consciousness. These two astounding essays are among the most profound studies of the effects of mind-expanding drugs written in this century. Contains the complete texts of \
  The Doors of Perception\
 and \
  Heaven and Hell\
, both of which became essential for the counterculture during the 1960s and influenced a generation's perception of life.

Sometimes a writer has to revisit the classics, and here we find that "gonzo journalism"—gutsy first-person accounts wherein the author is part of the story—didn't originate with Hunter S. Thompson or Tom Wolfe. Aldous Huxley took some mescaline &amp; wrote about it some 10 or 12 years earlier than those others. The book he came up with is part bemused essay &amp; part mystical treatise—"suchness" is everywhere to be found while under the influence. This is a good example of essay writing, journal keeping &amp; the value of controversy—always—in one's work.

The Desert Sessionsare a musical collective series, founded by Josh Homme in 1997. Artists such as Brant Bjork, PJ Harvey, Jeordie White (a.k.a. Twiggy Ramirez), Dave Catching, Nick Oliveri, Mark Lanegan, John McBain, Ben Shepherd, Josh Freese, Chris Goss, Alain Johannes, Troy Van Leeuwen, Dean Ween, and many others from the Palm Desert Scene have contributed as songwriters and musicians.The Desert Sessions began in August 1997 at the Rancho De La Luna in Joshua Tree when Josh Homme brought together musicians from the bands Monster Magnet, Goatsnake, earthlings?, Kyuss (his own band, which had split in 1995), and Soundgarden. The ranch is an old house filled with rare and unique recording equipment and instruments and was owned by Dave Catching and the late Fred Drake. Songs are written "on the spot", often in a matter of hours. Many stories have grown around the Sessions. For example, the song "Creosote" fromVolumes 9 & 10was written by Dean Ween and Alain Johannes on the ranch's front porch within four minutes of meeting each other. Similarly, Chris Goss and PJ Harvey wrote the song "There Will Never Be A Better Time" forI See You Hearin' Meafter going out onto the porch of the ranch for four minutes with an acoustic guitar; they re-entered the house and recorded the song in one take, the only time the song was ever played by the collective.

The 13th Floor Elevators was an American rock band from Austin, Texas, United States, formed by guitarist and vocalist Roky Erickson, electric jug player Tommy Hall, and guitarist Stacy Sutherland. The band was together from 1965 to 1969, and during that period released four albums and seven singles for the International Artists record label.The Elevators were the first band to refer to their music as psychedelic rock, with the first-known use of the term appearing on their business card in January 1966. The 2005 documentary You're Gonna Miss Me specifically credits Tommy Hall with coining the term "psychedelic rock." Their contemporary influence has been acknowledged by 1960s musicians such as Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Peter Albin of Big Brother and the Holding Company, and Chris Gerniottis of Zakary Thaks.
