i bought that for my brother for christmas. i want to read it but it looks intimidating and confusing going back and forth between comic and normal written pages. hopefully i'll read it soon depending on what he says about it.
anyway, the books i'm reading
Anthem - Ayn Rand
this book really wasn't what i was expecting
i would call it more of a short story than a book. Holler If You Hear Me: Searching for Tupac Shakur - Michael Eric Dyson
I started A Clockwork Orange the other day, but I think I'm going to read Son of a Witch instead and finish Clockwork after.
I'm reading Fast Food Nation, but I forget who its by.

Oh man, it's SO INTENSE. I love how complex everything is... and all the characters are pretty f*cked up, which makes it that much more lovable. I do tend to quickly skim through the written documents between chapters, though; some of them just look so boring and unimportant. But overall, it's pretty good so far. I'm a little over halfway done.

Icing on the Lake--Catherine Clark
^ But he's not half as good looking as the book described him to be, which made me VERY VERY VERY disappointed. I'm just glad he won me over towards the end. And that very very last part where they're talking about what he should call Elizabeth...

Its a good book, but it gets boring, so i do skip around, which is one of the few books you can, because its just a written interview with survivors of the Zombie War.
