The excellent Matthew Cheney talks about books on a particular shelf over at Strange Horizons. The only downside to the essay is that he opens with a confession of bookshelf voyeurism and I wanted to know more about what he's gleaned about others from their display.

Cure for the rainy-month blues:
spicy vegetarian chili
iced tea with garden herbs
books set in Seattle, Scotland, Jupiter or beneath the earth
cotton blankets

Maniac Cop?! Oh my gosh, if I could watch horror films, I would totally watch that one just for its title...plain, simple, right to the point.

Maniac Cop is one of my favorite movies--though it was made in the late eighties, it has a 70s feel: scary New York streets, hookers, piers and, of course, uniformed cops. Terrifying!

It also reminds me of good times and good friends, missed beyond capacity.
