1985 books mopho

what happened in 1985?

(the serial number of my mopho is 01985)

which books am i reading?

well in fact i finished one of them today, after watching the film...

but 1st the other, it's the 3rd book of "in search of lost time" by marcel proust and it's almost exactly the same size as my mopho...


2 of the 3 dimensions are very close...

looking down at the book or the synthesizer they are practically the same...



the mopho is a bit bigger looking at them end on, but a paperback book with more pages would do the trick... i might find a haruki murakami book that fits the bill...

so to the other - watchmen... i've been reading it for a few days - just in the house - and i got within two chapters of the end last this morning, so decided it was a good time to see the film, which i saw this afternoon... finishing the book when i got home...

the book is great... the film is also good, it's a touch flawed here and there for me, but it's good. it fits the book very well, departing in a few details later on but not too much...

once or twice in the action sequences i wasn't entirely convinced, and action in a graphic novel is easier than in films...

rorsharch is great, great as a character and very well played by jackie earle haley, also his moving rorsharch pattern face, alluded to in the book, is done excellently in the film...

the film also does something i like with rorsharch that the book doesn't do... mirroring the scene on mars where there's a reference to the comedian... (carefully not giving anything away)...

so, what happened in 1985?
