Literal Voyeur

Some like whiskers on kittens and mittens, some of my favourite things on the other hand, is to find old library receipts in books you've checked out. It's such a simple pleasure, but for that moment when you are reading it you get to peek at the life of a stranger. A stranger that through the fictional world you have shared almost feels like...a friend. You are connected through such a simple thing as shared influences. It's a rather amazing feeling.

And now I feel the need to check out more books from that person's list to make our connection even stronger. Plus from now on I think I will start leaving things in all books I return. For I am not only a voyeur, I'm an exhibitionist as well.

In case you don't know what to read, here are a few suggestions from the Unknown Sharer. Whoever the person is, seems to have very good taste.

• Sacred Games by Chandra
• Heart-shaped Box by Hill
• Kom I Form Med Balansboll by Nymann (so okay, everyone are allowed to have literal transgressions)
• Saturnalia by Davis
• Rain Dogs by Waits
• Fingersmith by Waters

Den Högkulturella Hösten 2007

Med mina nya glassögon & nyfunna Viktorianska faiblesse, blev behovet av en "Högkulturell Höst" ytterst akut.

Under en gemensam tankestorm med Lolita, över en svart kopp kaffe & vinbärskaka med tillhörande vaniljglass utformades dessa tankar till en handlingsplan.

• Bokcirkel - Exempel på författare vi skall fördjupa oss i; Orwell, Palahniuk, Dante, Martin Svensson, Nostradamus, Sartre, de Sade.
• Korrespondens - Efter en tekniskt avancerad period törstar våra sinnen efter det okomplicerade, det vackra, det klassiska skapandet. Vi vill gå i våra mästares fotspår och göra det handskrivna brevet till vårt främsta kreativa & konstnärliga kommunikationsmedel. Genom denna korrespondens skall vi skapa ett arkiv för framtida generationers åtnjutande.
• Strukturering av The Odds-biblioteket - En aktuell boklista skall sammanställas över den gemensamma boksamlingen.

Med den nakne mannens magnifika turkosa rumpa í blickfånget avslutar vi denna sejour.

The Offical Oddball Library

I have decided that upon this day the Offical Oddball Library is established. The name of this Library is open to discussion, but it has been founded today in it's first rawness.

So far said Library only consists of 2 books. One donate by Tiny and one donated by myself. Also if I can find my "The Picture of Dorian Gray" paperback I will donate this as well.

Now we have reached the logistical aspects of this newfound Library. I am not sure how we will work this out, but we will. As of now I am in control of it, but suggestions of how to make it work are more than welcomed.
