I know this isn't the place, but what do you think about book covers. If you published, would you rather only the title and your name appear or would you like an image or design?

Interesting thought. You know there are those illustrated books these days, I forget the actual name for them. It might work as a literary device there. I don't think book covers have ever altered my perception of a work. But then I don't know. Usually there is only one cover I'm reading out of.

If you remember, let me know.

Colors a very suggestive. The Quixote with the red cover and knight's helmet, made me think of a serious war epic. The white ink blot, made me think of a surreal character study.

Would you advise a single image representing the motif of the book? I find the idea of guiding the reader through the text with a central image, but a Quixote cover with a windmill gives too much away.

O! That's too many images Virg. I thought you meant something else. I'm a fan of graphic novels. Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns being my favorite. Kingdom Come is great too.

Nick you have very kind eyes. I admit I was also subject to your avi. (All the talk with you and Virgil have made me decide to post in the Quixote thread-it's rather slow right now)

Baki you are adorable and so is your best friend.

Thanks for posting guys.

From the archives...

These are from maybe a year ago, when I was playing the pinnaner for the "Teacher of the Year" breakfast ceremony...

And this is a bit more recent, and I think somewhat more revealing of my true character:

Thank you. Too bad the rest of me is mean, j/k.
It's funny there's more post for Quixote, than this months book.

James, that third picture you look like you're ready for a straight jacket. :lol: Nice photos though. I would love to hear you play piano. :)

I'm not sure, actually. It looks like there was a Starbucks involved, but I'm not sure where it was...

Thanks, Niamh and Virgil. V: I can't really play very well these days; I haven't been practicing much like I did when I wanted to go to a music college. I get the impression that, at the time that was taken, a straight-jacket wouldn't have bothered me, so long as I didn't have to be awake for it...

Thanks for posting your pic, Jamesian -- now we can put a face to the name! And what better place then at a piano (said the fellow piano-player)! :)

Indeed; there's also another on my profile from more...clean-shaven days... :sick: (My eyes are actually somewhat visible in that one, too.)

Actually I remember a picture of Jame's head with stitches I think it was. :lol: Right James?
