04.14.08 UR Book Smarts - The Letter D

For those of you who thought that these book review videos would be dead by now...keep waiting.

I forget the rule: Do they have to be books on your shelf at the moment? You could take a look at the recent illustrated (that's right, illustrated) edition of Elements of Style. Or, Wendy Wasserstein wrote a novel titled Elements of Style. There's also Eclipse, by Stephenie Meyer, but it's the third book in a vampire series.

It helps if they're already on my shelf, but I suppose rules were meant to be broken.

I'd heard about the illustrated version of Elements of Style before. Odd, I have three copies on my shelves now, but none of them are illustrated. Maybe I need to pick that one up.

Hmmm..... I guess you know... you could find a creative way to do Elements of Style... lol I don't really know what that is (guess I dont have enough style to -_-)

In other news. I was at the bookstore the other day and I found the Shakespeare Manga you had mentioned in another video. Romeo and Juliet to be exact. I kind of laughed a bit and showed my bookstore shopping companion, who just gave me a weird look and continued with his browsing.

I got R&J managa for my library. Pictures do help the reader remember who's who, and they worked hard to keep exact lines and authentic dialog in place. But. But, a word balloon with "What ho?" in it just takes you down the wrong road. Lost in the tumult of speaking on stage, or jumble of other weird words on a page, it's easy to miss the chance to snicker like an 11 year-old. Not so much in a word balloon.
