A Job for Superman: April 2014
http://ajobforsuperman.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
A Job for Superman. A blog of science fiction, comics, and whatnot. Friday, April 25, 2014. Quotations: I'll just let this one speak for itself. If you can't annoy somebody, there is little point in writing. Kingsley Amis, Lucky Jim. Links to this post. Thursday, April 24, 2014. The Best Stories in the World: "Bartelby," by Herman Melville. I love this story. It's a very simple thing: Bartleby prefers not doing over doing; chaos ensues. Then as possessed of a "cadaverously gentlemanly nonchalance.".

A Job for Superman: February 2015
http://ajobforsuperman.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
A Job for Superman. A blog of science fiction, comics, and whatnot. Tuesday, February 3, 2015. Well, this blog has served its purpose. My Superman research is pretty much done (or it will never be done- either way, I've done what I needed with this blog). I've decided to continue blogging, but at a new site: Rootbeer and Typewriters. That said, there may be one or two more posts here in the future. Update posts. You never know. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Hey, I wrote a movie!

A Job for Superman: Kate DiCamillo's Flora and Ulysses
http://ajobforsuperman.blogspot.com/2014/05/kate-dicamillos-flora-and-ulysses.html
A Job for Superman. A blog of science fiction, comics, and whatnot. Tuesday, May 6, 2014. Kate DiCamillo's Flora and Ulysses. I did decide to accept a different, unrelated offer. I will now be some part of the organizing body of the Hoosier Folklore Society. I don't have a title, but I'll be putting together a conference (probably for March of 2015, but nothing's set) and maybe working on the journal Midwestern Folklore. Depending on how much help is needed there. So there's that. So Flora and Ulysses.

A Job for Superman: Amazon's Top 100 Lists
http://ajobforsuperman.blogspot.com/2014/05/amazons-top-100-lists.html
A Job for Superman. A blog of science fiction, comics, and whatnot. Thursday, May 8, 2014. Amazon's Top 100 Lists. I'm not sure why I did this, but I went through a bunch of Amazon's top 100 book lists to see how many of the books on them I had read. For the top 100 overall, I have only read three: Dr. Seuss's Oh the Places You'll go. Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar. And What to Expect when You're Expecting. Of the SF and Fantasy list: Martin's Game of Thrones. Chicka Chicka Boom Bom. So the com...

A Job for Superman: May 2014
http://ajobforsuperman.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
A Job for Superman. A blog of science fiction, comics, and whatnot. Thursday, May 22, 2014. From The Lonesome Gods. Pages 54-55, by Louis L'Amour. All you need to know is that these are the words of a dying father, who is crossing the desert to take his son Hannes to California:. They are out there in the desert and mountains, and perhaps their strength has waned because nobody lights fires on their altars anymore. but they are there, Hannes, and sometimes I think they know me and remember me. Sometimes,...

A Job for Superman: The Best Stories in the World: "Bartelby," by Herman Melville
http://ajobforsuperman.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-best-stories-in-world-bartelby-by.html
A Job for Superman. A blog of science fiction, comics, and whatnot. Thursday, April 24, 2014. The Best Stories in the World: "Bartelby," by Herman Melville. I love this story. It's a very simple thing: Bartleby prefers not doing over doing; chaos ensues. Bartleby is a scrivener- a person who by hand makes copies of important legal documents, long before the digital age. Is this important? Then as possessed of a "cadaverously gentlemanly nonchalance.". Is probably the best place to start. A whole book...

A Job for Superman: Quotations: The Bluest Eye
http://ajobforsuperman.blogspot.com/2014/05/quotations-bluest-eye.html
A Job for Superman. A blog of science fiction, comics, and whatnot. Friday, May 2, 2014. Quotations: The Bluest Eye. I've read this one over and over and over. It's from Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye. Her first novel, page 134. It's tough to include, for reasons that will become obvious, but it's one of my favorite passages in all of literature, and I feel I would be remiss if I didn't put it here at some point. If you're wondering why I have censored that one word, here's a bit from Louis CK. Quotation...
