Christopher Horrocks "Introducing Baudrillard" (Icon Books)
This is a fun, if not entirely effective, approach to Baudrillard. The comic book style approach suits its subject in a way that I don't think it would for other thinkers and concepts within the "Introducing..." series. It's a shame that the text can't live up to the artistic vision and humor of the book. If you haven't read Baudrillard before, you're likely to be completely lost. If you've had a smattering of Baudrillard, you're going to be mostly lost. And if you've read the majority of Baudrillard, you know that getting to know him is hopeless anyway. Have fun with this book, but don't make it your first or last foray into the thinker that postmodernism loves to hate (and vice versa).

A Velvet Morning
Apr. 27th, 2014 09:18 amThis morning i am in the process of putting all these 32 questionnaires online from the visit i did yesterday. At least it will one less job done before i go off to Brighton on the Wednesday.
Continuing my theme of morning songs i think this Velvet Underground tune from the LP with the peel able banana is quite appropriate.

Then it is the crunch match as Colin will be round to watch football as Chelsea take on Liverpool. Cousin for the blues and Colin for the reds. It will be a bloodbath.
ADDENDUM

eleki do this one i decided to see what my results were. The wrath is due to the fact that i was reading something else the Tories are up to , and infact anything that they do tend to make my blood boil.
I tend to be a lazy bugger but can be whipped into action if incentivized.
