This book is called Timelines Of Everything-
DIRECTOR: "No no no! You can't just start it off like a lazily produced Creepypasta of an Adult Swim show. Try again, please, mistress!"
*sigh* Okay...
*BLEEP!*
Right, so this book is about a small line which guides us through different points in time, from points in history to our interests and preferences, some of which are so disgusting and shocking I can't even list down in this blog entry. Here are a few of my favourites:
- There is one about cavemen which is told as if it were a cave painting on the wall, with the exulted line transforming into something painted by our ancestors a long time ago. I mean, you can't just make it into an illustration and then spend all your life and millions of pounds photographing it, it'll cost an awful lot of money!
- And then, there's one about 'Festivals & Fun'. The line this time has turned a neon pink and there are small people having lots of fun, from going to the first zoo to the first largest aquarium built in London Zoo.
- The one about writing really jumped out at me most, mainly because now I'm into writing stream of conciousness material. The line here is depicted as a huge inky blot on a plain piece of paper, with an ink pen way above it. Whoever did it must've done a really good job. Well done to whoever made this page, your mum will be proud of you, your dad, your brothers, your sisters, your kids, all proud of you.
But the one about earthquakes? The line here looks like it's a black centipede instead of a crack in the road. Eurgh!
Still, this book proves that DK isn't just for kids growing up in the early 2000's, it's for grownups too. Bear and Penguin, if you're reading this, please be aware that right now DK is making a CD rom for adults based on mental health and mindfulness techniques.
Bear & Penguin's Mental Health Adventure?
Bear & Penguin's Big Mindfulness Adventure?
I'm sure we can all agree with something like that, right? We can, that's for sure.
How about you?
