Gloomy and confusing. =( So much for creative typography.</p> <p>@Katelyn: </p> <blockquote><p>But they look cool for a quick browse through (:</p></blockquote> <p>probably in a library, eh? </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/14335/p/1/#response-117036 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 20:39:28 Nils 117036 <p>Oops, missed that one Eli. Hope <em>you do</em> have RSS for this note and then read it too ;)</p> <p>Yep, read it, ages ago and I forgot most of it. It's quite gloomy and confusing and gloomy. Did I say it was confusing? And gloomy?</p> <p>If you do want to start with Gray, there's his short stories, esp. Letters From an Eastern Empire which is hilarious and breathtakingly beautiful. Must-read as far as I'm concerned. </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/14335/p/1/#response-117032 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 20:06:35 katelynjane 117032 <p>I'm not sure I could read these! The different types would be too distracting! But they look cool for a quick browse through (: </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/14335/p/1/#response-116279 Fri, 23 May 2008 16:31:14 shadowsun7 116279 <p>You've read it, Nils?! </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/14335/p/1/#response-116278 Fri, 23 May 2008 16:28:35 Nils 116278 <p>That last book is Lanark by Alasdair Gray. It's awesome. It has a list of all the plagiarisms the author confesses to have used to various degrees. It's hilarious. The other ones looked pretty cool too. Good find. </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/14335/p/1/#response-116235 Thu, 22 May 2008 14:28:24 ldragon 116235 <p>That last book looks quite interesting, I'll slap that on my reading list :) </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/14335/p/1/#response-116211 Thu, 22 May 2008 07:51:24 shadowsun7 116211 <p>I like #3 most. I mean - if it's a ransom &#38; kidnapping novel it'll be friggin hilarious to read! </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/14335/p/1/#response-116190 Thu, 22 May 2008 05:28:41 Tyme 116190 <p>#1 is unique. If the text is like that all the way through I wonder if it becomes tedious reading it. </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/14335/p/1/#response-116172 Wed, 21 May 2008 23:29:24 Scrivs 116172 <p>Very nice. I love when people go crazy with typography to make for a more visual experience. </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/14335/p/1/#response-116158 Wed, 21 May 2008 12:39:19 shadowsun7 116158 <p>I just love this slideshow: 5 books that play around with type in very surprising ways.
