I was pretty blown away with his books, read a whole bunch of them when I was 24: Narciss and Holmund are my favorite and then Glass Bead game.
- Alex Iskold on January 9, 2010 at 8:26pmAlex Iskold favorited and commented on Hieronymus Bosch on en.wikipedia.org
Saw a bunch of his originals in Rome and Brussels. Imaginative, terrifying and all together unforgettable. One of my favorite painters.
- Alex Iskold on January 24, 2010 at 1:32pmAlex Iskold favorited and commented on Holy Blood, Holy Grail on amazon.com
Mind blowing read. A historical chase through secret societies, bible all the way back to Jesus uncovering a series of shocking revelations.
Greatly researched and highly readable. Even if 10% of stuff in this book is true, you won't think about Christianity in the same way again.
The illustrated edition comes with pictures of paintings, maps, landscapes and is well worth the price. - Alex Iskold on September 13, 2008 at 11:32amAlex Iskold favorited In the Bedroom on netflix.com
