Must remember to buy David Byrne’s Arboretum at some point (look inside). But today the signed Scott Pilgrim 3 was too tempting to pass up!
Also on the David Byrne tip, I liked his blog post about the genetic tendency for self-delusion:
I would maintain that a healthy (i.e. substantial) amount of denial is therefore genetically heritable, that it allows us to blithely go on (despite reading Beckett) and to ignore the basic sadness and desperation of life. We can live in an illusion — in fact we are genetically predisposed to do so. These illusions can be small — I am just as good at catching game as Bob, my rival, for example — or they can be very large — that death is not the end and that I will be rewarded for my faith and Bob, the apostate, will rot in Hell.
