There were quite a few things I liked from the Rose period, but the Blue period was a killer. I first learned about them while standing in line at my college bookstore. They had these neat inexpensive little books on indivdula artists and I thumbed through them while I was waiting--along with that Kenneth Rexroth book of translated Japanese poetry I reviewed. It made standing in line almost fun.

I always liked standing in line... for films. I hate waiting rooms in doctor's offices, though!
