BOOK THOUGHTS

About to go on a road trip to Kamouraska with Adam! I always love packing lots of books to read (I just started this one by Mario Vargas Llosa) —  does anyone have any recommendations for rad vacation-worthy tomes??

 

THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME

As if I needed another reason to love LOST, a small portion of the books featured or referenced on the show (mostly in the hands of Sawyer and Desmond, the two resident bookworms of the program, although Hurley reading ‘Laughter in the Dark’ made me laugh):

at the friends of the library book sale this spring, i was particularly enchanted with these old editions of books that i most definitely already own. call it excessive, but i couldn’t resist these gorgeous covers of books that i already love and cherish. book design has always appealed to me and i love these for their 60s graphic sensibility and overall simplicity and effectiveness.
