to continue on with my obsession...

i was reading about the novel "the wild things" by dave eggers that is going to coincide with the release of the spike jonze's movie "where the wild things are." apparently, maurice sendak actually asked him to write the novel (since eggers already wrote the screenplay). (read more: here)

how much more excited about this can i be?

btw, the book will have two editions when it comes out in october-

the silhouette with intricate red background:



and the fur-draped version:

i hope it feels enticingly tactile - soft and like a pillow, maybe?

and i know this will be a popular choice, but please please can i be one of the wild things for halloween? i need to gather up a wild things posse. we can roar it up.
