the stack next to my bed

Next to my bed is an assortment of books and comix that I occasionally read before dozing off. I saw a list that Gary Panter did with roughly the same idea and felt inspired to share my current list with you.

• The Stacks by Marc Bell
• Lady Pep by Julie Doucet
• Raisin Pie #2 by Rick Altergott and Ariel Bourdeaux
• Themes and Movements: Surrealism by MaryAnn Caws
• Revenge of the Sith: Encyclopedia of Vehicles
• Tony Oursler: Drawings by Tony Oursler
• Bighead by Jeffrey Brown
• Satiro-plastic by Gary Panter, a facsimile sketchbook 1999-2001
• Pattern Recognition by William Gibson
• Raymond Pettibon: A Reader ed. by Ghez and Temkin
• Worn Tuff Elbow by Marc Bell
• Kramer's Ergot #4 ed. by Sammy Harkham

Looking at that list now, I guess it's really mostly comix. But they are smart comix
and I'd certainly aspire to do the kind of work those people are doing.

What's next to your bed, or on your bedside table?
