PLANET OF THE APES: The Evolution of the Legend [2014] by Jeff Bond & Joe Fordham
Wonderful coffee-table book (bought used & cheap, still in great shape!), mostly about the 1968-75 era of POTA, filled with gorgeous behind-the-scenes & promo photos... roughly the last 1/4 of the book is dedicated to the nonsensical Tim Burton remake and the reboot/Prequel films--so those pages I can just easily ignore!

Shaun, I bought that book from Forbidden Planet about three weeks ago. Can't wait to get stuck in.

It's been a good 30 years since I last read this. I was prompted to it again after being referenced a few times in "Big Hair and Plastic Grass". Let's see if it's as raucous as I remember.

Now starting FOOL'S RIVER, the latest novel in Timothy Hallinan's ongoing thriller series featuring travel writer Poke Rafferty and set in Bangkok, Thailand.
I also enjoy his humorous crime fiction books starring Junior Bender, the wisecracking, erudite burglar / sleuth. But it was the Rafferty novels that first pulled me into Hallinan's orbit.

Charles Murray, The Curmudgeon's Guide to Getting Ahead. Advice to young people, about 18-28. A variation on the type of book that has been around since The Book of the Courtier. I'm more in the curmudgeon age group than I am the age of the target audience, but decided to read through. Good advice, by and large, on making choices, avoiding sending inadvertent signals to older people in positions of power over your life, and on how to write.
Zeitoun. Heroic Syrian Muslim immigrant stays behind in his adopted town of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina and tries to help others, but is thwarted and imprisoned by racist and inept federal and local authorities before finally being reunited with his devoted American born wife. Fascinating book, with a definite point of view. When you finish it, but not before, google Zeitoun to learn, as Paul Harvey used to say, the rest of the story.

Now starting an older John Hart novel that has been waiting on my shelf for quite some time.
BTW Mr. Hart is the only writer to have won back-to-back Edgar Awards for best mystery novel of the year. |

Be Pure, Be Vigilant, Behave! by Pat Mills, his version
of the secret history of 2000AD and Judge Dredd, a very
interesting insight into UK comics in the 70`s! Some
good points on creator rights and credits.
