Gregory Peck and the Red Box Enigma
I found this a few months back in the window of an antique store while walking down Valencia. I’d seen the book on eBay before but never managed to get a copy. It’s basically a mystery novel from 1947 that’s totally fictional except for the fact that Gregory Peck is the main character. Amazing, obviously.
A quote from The Pleasure of My Company by Steve Martin
"I did not know of any other way I could be. I did not know what was inside me or how I could redeem what was hidden there. There must be a key or person or thing, or song or poem or belief, or old saw that could access it, but they all seemed so far away, and after I drifted further and further into self-absorption, I closed the evening with this desolate thought: There are few takers for the quiet heart."
Seventeen volumes of Naoki Urasawa’s Monster. The empty spot at the end is for the eighteenth volume which is to be released in the middle of December.
Proof that I am more like the Vince / Michael character from Queer As Folk than I might like to admit. Although admittedly, this is only the second manga series I’ve ever read. LOL
