a little review

"ancient egypt in the year 4 billion"
(i very much like this title. and i think titles are my favorite parts of things so i think i like this zine already)
i'm talking about the selected readings by mister ian mcduffie, of course.
in fact, all of the titles of all of the stories in this selection were lovely. and, even more, the placement of the words in the selections in the zine where lovely and made me think of pretty things. mister ian mcduffies writing style is incredibly interesting and, i found as i was reading, that it was able to take me all the way through the end of the book. and by that i mean the selected writing all seemed to flow together. there seemed to be no ending to them or, they complimented eachother very well. this could be because the pieces are seperated by titles in little case that don't take over the whole rest of the writing, and pretty little pictures of pyramids so you can't really get distracted by the ends and/or beginings of the three different selections.
Furthermore, the fonts chosen for the title pages worked very well as did the overall format of the little zine. oh! and the prism on the back cover was nice too.
i hope you pick it up and look at it and i hope there are more like this later on, when he feels like making them.

thank you, please.
