Although it was written in 2000, it is set in the 50s, and that's what makes it fun. It's nostalgic reading more than anything else. The mystery is just a bonus.
My favorite short story collection by Bradbury. The Incredible Ice Cream Suit is one of the classic ones.
Sad sad sad book. It is the epitome of Jewish Holocaust literature and really makes you feel like shit. I really recommend it, however, as it is beautifully written.
What if pictures, or hieroglyphics, could be made into a deeper and more complex langauge, that is yet more rapidly understandable and recognizable by the same order? Text takes time to export and to absorb in relation to drawings, stalling the creative brainstorming process. Arnheim shows how this visual langauge has developed. One can easily think of the long dashes and violent scribbles that translate into speed and dust clouds of coups de poing that are depicted in every newspaper's comic section. What if one could take this further and change whole sentences of semantic thought in to a basic shape? One paragraph in to 7 or 8 strokes of the pen?
Its ok.. ok... This book didn't have plots. It made me fall asleep while I was reading this book.
