Unusual interview

[yakalskovich]

Sorry, I'm spamming the flist today. But Der Spiegel has an interview with Shaun Tan where he answers in pictures*.



He has a monster that eats his leftover ideas! How immensely useful. Both the Nazgul and I could use one of those before our stacks of things to do and books to read pile up beyond the limits of the solar system...


*questions are in German, but his answers are drawings, universal as his wordless graphic novel 'The Arrival'. Also, he has a Wikipedia article at last.

But what to do when you can not afford to move into bigger and bigger houses?!?!! I'm totally serious and I still refuse ebooks butbutbut

A trip to the used bookstore to clear out those you won't reread and get new ones for reading. I love your icon.

I joined bookmooch for that but it's hard to give away expensive unread books that pile up and up over the decades, as y knows, and fewer things delight but rereading old ones is a mixed bag and anyway, I need a castle. And servants. And airconditioning to keep them dry. Not the servants. WEll maybe all of us.

I've never heard of bookmooch but I have many bags of books that really need to be sold. Castles sound like a good plan with built in bookshelves.

Yeah, I never managed to sell a single thing in my whole life, not for 89 percent reduction.
