Another for the to-read list

By on November 26th, 2007

As I was scanning Salon’s recent review of Alan Moore and Kevin
O’Neill’s latest installment in the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
series, my eye was caught by a sentence that started thusly:

In the course of the book, we encounter, among other things, a brief
prose piece in the merged styles of P.G. Wodehouse and H.P. Lovecraft
("What Ho, Gods of the Abyss")…

!, I thought. And then Must. Read. Now.

Long
live the arts of parody and mash-up. Which reminds me, I still haven’t read Volume 2 of
The League. I knew I needed something to take my mind off thesaurus
construction…

    That absolutely on my list, too. It looks better than the second volume (which I liked but didn’t love as much as the first volume)

    Ah. Then I can jump right ahead to the new volume, then, and catch up with the second later.
