Funny stuff.
Excellent taste, my friend. I'm sure anyone would turn for Gary Larson...

THe crucible is probably my favorite play. But I have to agree, if you don't really know whats going on its really confusing. My drama teacher had to tell my class the backstory of it etc.

Anyway, I am currently reading "Fat kid rules the world" by K.L Going.

I just got this book and am glad to announce that I am at least 25% more patriotic. I'm also reading Batman: The Long Halloween now that I finished Arkham Asylum.

Northern Lights/The Golden Compass- Philip Pullman

I got lucky (lol), couldn't find it in the town library, went to the college library on a whim and found it.

I think I love his Dark Materials more than the Harry Potter books.

I just received the His Dark Materials trilogy in one volume. I'm reading The Golden Compass right now. I can't wait for the movie.

Sleepwalking by Nicola Morgan. That woman is a great writer.

"Wings as blue as the sound of sadness"

I'd also advise Fleshmarket and Mondays are red.

I'm reading Life of Pi, but I sidetracked last night and tonight to spend a few hours and read the entirety of The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks. I highly recommend it for any fans.

I'm reading the trades of Usagi Yojimbo. I've finished vol.1, I'm nearly done reading vol.2, and have vol.3 waiting for me after that. Probably some of the best comics I've read in a while.

I'm also trying to catch up with TMNT vol. 4. My local comic shop never got me issue 20, but I have every one after that. So I had to order #20 from the official site. Once I get that, then I'll be able to read the rest.

As I've said a few times, I've been re-reading through the entirety of the Drizzt series for about a month now, after reading "The Silent Blade" I figured I'd take a break and read through the book I got for Christmas, "Revelations" the Mass Effect prequel novel.

Unfortunately it's pretty close to un-readable. I struggled through the first two or three chapters, but it just wasn't grabbing me, so I jumped back over and finished "Spine of the World", and am currently several chapters into "Servant of the Shard".

I might give it another chance once I finish of Shard and probably "Sea of Swords" but I dunno.

I went to my book store today and raided the place. I am now reading "Peeps" by Scott Westerfeld and finished reading "How to Survive a Horror Movie" by Seth Garhame-Smith. Also, I am pleased to announce that I now know that I'm armed with the skills to kill some horror creatures effectively and properly. And that being killed by a possessed doll is a shameful way to die. Oh, and I now know how to get those pesky Satan-worshiping kids out of cornfields. Definately a good read on a rainy day.
