The Codex Seraphinianus looks like an encyclopædia for a parallel world. Luigi Serafini wrote (in an indecipherable language) and illustrated the book around the late 70’s/early 80’s. I’d love to have a copy but it’s rare and therefore expensive. Luckily it’s available on Flickr for nowt.

Also on Flickr is the Voynich Manuscript.

Listen: Kurt Vonnegut is up in heaven now.

I started reading Vonnegut when I was a teenager and I read as many as I could get my hands on. One after another. They were full of wit and imagination but also humanity and I am deeply saddened by his death. Good bless you, Mr Vonnegut.
