The New Novel, Winslow Homer, 1877 Museum of Fine arts, Springfield, Mass Daily Thoughts 6/29/2010
We spent some time talking with a gentleman from GO2 media design about redesigning our website. They have designed a number of other library websites. http://www.go2mediadesign.com/taxonomy/term/49
I spent some time reading Jason Shhhh! an almost silent comic with a variety of slice of life scenes. They are curious with black and white line art. It is hard to describe the exact nature of the art. I rather like it. This is a link to an article about it. http://www.newsarama.com/comics/Jason-Almost-Silent-100129.html
Two new books came in for to read, Deank Koontz's Frankenstein lost souls and Fitzpatrick's War by Theodore Judson.
Today has been fairly quiet. It was a chance to look at the displays and put some orders together as well as get ready for some meetings on telephone customer service, a staff meeting, and a meeting on using electronic ordering for our library this week.
I also had a chance to read some more Harry Mintzberg's Managing. I am reading a bit about the concept in leadership of moving away from I to we. The point is to be more team oriented and speak and identify as part of a community. This is difficult in some ways. He uses the word communityship which is a concept which I'm trying to get my mind around.

I started Dean Koontz' Frankenstein books. I found the concept interesting but the execution lacking.
LOVE the Homer picture....I'd like to imagine that's me!
Just found your blog through RhodesReviews webblog. Great stuff.

Dean Koontz started as a science fiction writer. He is now writing bestsellers which have a simplistic style that are almost cartoonish. In fact many of them have been turned into "graphic novels". I thought the Frankenstein series were better as a graphic novel. http://www.deankoontz.com/frankenstein-prodigal-son/
He definitely is not using a literary style. The writing is purely escapist and is very vernacular. I liked it because I recognized it for what it was.
I like seeing where people come to visit from. Thank you. http://rhodesreview.com/
