"Oklahoma City was a test city for MTV, and this compilation of US and UK punk rock bands – XTC, the Cramps, the Dead Kennedys – came out around the time, and had that same spirit. One song each, blam-blam-blam. You didn’t know who was American and who was English and it didn’t matter – what did was every band was doing it themselves and looking bizarre. And in a world where you knew you could never be the Beatles, here was John Cooper Clarke performing to 50 people and being fantastic. That felt huge. Seeing the energy coming off the audience when he made that effort really did something to me."

This was a very interesting read. It is a compilation of, primarily, two essays directed at the women of the Restoration and Revolution period in London, England. While it mainly speaks to women to be more free in their religions, it also talks about women's political freedoms. This seems to be an early feminist essay which calls to give women more power over their lives.

I did enjoy the first essay more than I did the second because the second got a lot more religious and quite repetitive. But it was still interesting.

If you are interested in early feminist lit or in religious literature, check this book out. I think you would thoroughly enjoy it.

Collecting Marvel's Star Wars issues #33 through 37, this is more-or-less a compilation of one-shot stories rather than ant on-going story threads: as such, some of these are better than others.

The same can be said of the art-work.

With stories running the gamut from Luke and Leia trapped on a water(y)-planet, to R2-D2 rescuing C-3PO from the Empire and even from the Point of View of members of the Empire's SCAR squadron, there is plenty of variety here: none, however, (to my eyes) match the impact of the earlier issues (maybe because they were fresher back then?), or even of the cross-over event 'Vader Down'
