library pubs, please.

Every library should have one! When I own a bookstore, or possibly manage a library, I shall institute one. It's a pub. Adjacent to a library. You can check out books and go read them in the pub. It attracts a literate clientele, and inspires many book-related discussions. Also, you can easily get the pint or four that one really requires to get through Ulysses. The drop box is right by the taps.

strangers in paradise

[hydingjekyll.livejournal.com]

Strangers in Paradise is an Eisner-winning graphic novel series by Terry Moore. Its main focus is the adult friendship shared by Francine Peters, an all-American girl; her best friend Katina Choovanski, better known as Katchoo; and David Qin, a sensitive guy who's in love with Katchoo but often feels like a third wheel. In addition to the human drama and humor of regular friendships, the ongoing story also deals with Katchoo and David's past involvement with organized crime, and the series has strayed into action-thriller a few times. The series' website describes Strangers in Paradise as "real life, just kicked up a notch."

I haven't kept up with the series for about a year now; at the time I left off, I was starting to feel a bit disenchanted with it. Despite Moore's excellent characters and artistic abilities, there's only so much human drama you can have in ten years before it starts to get a bit repetitive. I need to get back into the story so I can make a more informed opinion. Anyway, the first ten or twelve volumes are terrific.
