Reading is Sexy... But I Already Knew That

During the Christmas season, my cool pal Johnny gave me this wonderful book Design Humor: The Art of Graphic Wit by Steve Heller. It's a great read, and being someone who is blessed with a sense of humour, I can truly appreciate intelligent humour in everyday design.

I can also appreciate the bloody brilliance of the very talented designer and illustrator Seymour Chwast, who created this gem, The Kama Sutra of Reading, found on pg 142 of said book. Reminds me a bit of my own attempt at illustrating reading positions, but my interpretation just barely scratches the surface.

Yup; the hubby and I have a great deal more to learn about the Art of Reading. Time to hit the books.

Y'know, if the name wasn't already taken, I'd suggest you rechristen this blog "BookSlut"...

Heh heh... I like to think of myself as one of the original card-carrying booksluts, for sure. BookLust is a pretty darn sexy name, too, and as close to BookSlut as I'm gonna get on the web, anyway.

Brilliant! Thanks for the chuckle! I have worshiped Seymour Chwast since his first album covers for Columbia in the late Sixties - well, that's when I first noticed them.

LOL! Where's the Karmatra Sutra for web surfing?

Oh, I love this illustration. I might have to purchase the book just for that page, assuming of course that there are many other wonderful pages. Thanks for sharing Patricia.
