Im currently reading this message board.
The comics I'm reading are: Invincible, Astounding Wolf-man, Ult. Spider-man, and I think thats about it. I havent read anything from DC in almost a year. I'm also dropping titles left and right from marvel. Image is the only company keeping my interest. (Never thought I would write something like that.)

Woah! My room and my brother's room are filled with DC comics and collectibles. I haven't even read my recent Titans comic books purchases yet.

I read through about 300+ Marvel comics recently. I thought most of it was complete trash, the only things I enjoyed were the Civil War and Planet Hulk, and I had read most of Civil War before. Planet Hulk was f*cking fantastic, though.

I'm near the beginning of World War Hulk now, and it's decent, but not as good.

I won me a, guess what you would call a box-set, of Doctor Who books offa ebay the other day there. Ten books, all featuring Martha. For the princely sum of twenty quid, which is nice! Am reading one called 'Wooden Heart' right now, which is very good.

Also, coming soon in my reading schedule, is that other nine Doctor Who books in said box-set. And I picked up a few at a local charity shop, including The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold; The Voodoo Handbag and Website Story by Robert Rankin (recommended to me by my friend Scott, who says Rankin is like Douglas Adams on acid - loves me some DA, me does!); A Sandman anthology, edited by Neil Gaiman and written by various writers...

So I got me a few to read, which is always nice!

Pretty much finished Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth, which was some pretty messed up stuff. I liked the psychological horror aspects of the story, though, and wish there were more graphic novels like it.

Been reading Twelfth Night in my English class, which has been fun and light. For the most part, I find it intriguing.

I'm on my second reading this old non-fiction book called
"The Man Who Sold the Eiffel Tower" by James F. Johnson
as told to Floyd Miller. It's about a con man from the
earlier part of the twentieth century called Victor Lustig.
The title says it all!

Star Wars: Darth Plagueis

Need to finish. Kind of got distracted by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness. Good so far.

Finished "Brisingr" tonight, moving on to "11/22/63" by Stephen King (still alternating with the Salvatore book).

I am finishing Darth Plagueis and will then move on to Mr. Citizen,Harry Truman's autobiography. Two very different reads and both are engaging.
