| | Friday | ] | Oh. Hi, neglected journal.
Update: another time.
Instead: a list.
A librarian friend of mine keeps showing off her list of current books read. I thought that was a cool idea, so I kept track last year.
2007 books Really a very short list. I blame Warcraft. And 4th Edition. OTOH, a number of long plane rides and enforced periods without internets made up for some of the pixel-addiction. In retrospect it seems ridiculous to list graphic novel trades and not the thousands (yes) of individual issue comics read over the year, but there you go.
(Reread) I reread things a lot, especially when I want to refresh my memory before a sequel or media adaptation.
The Best of the Spirit, Will Eisner Sandman Mystery Theater v4: The Scorpion, Matt Wagner PS 238 v3: No Child Left Behind, Aaron Williams Catwoman: The Life and Times of a Feline Fatale, Suzan Colon (Perfect Dark: Initial Vector), Greg Rucka Perfect Dark: Second Front, Greg Rucka (My Enemy, My Ally), Diane Duane (The Romulan Way), Diane Duane (Swordhunt), Diane Duane The Empty Chair, Diane Duane The Devil You Know, Mike Carey Vicious Circle, Mike Carey The Good Fairies of New York, Martin Millar (Proven Guilty), Jim Butcher The Man Who Ate Everything, Jeffery Steingarten White Night, Jim Butcher (Blood Price), Tanya Huff Ysabel, Guy Gavriel Kay (Blood Hunt), Tanya Huff Daredevil: The Devil, Inside and Out, Ed Brubaker Wonder Woman: The Greatest Stories Ever Told, Marston et al Huntress: Dark Knight Daughter, Paul Levitz Gloomcookie, Serena Valentino and Ted Naifeh It Must Have Been Something I Ate, Jeffery Steingarten Mouse Guard: Fall 1152, David Petersen Rats Saw God, Rob Thomas (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, JK Rowling) [skim-reread] Neptune Noir: Unauthorized Investigations into Veronica Mars (Smart Pop series), Rob Thomas et al Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, JK Rowling Helltown [DC Universe], Denny O'Neil Soon I Will Be Invincible, Austin Grossman Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus, Vol. 1, Jack Kirby (Stardust), Neil Gaiman (Keeper), Greg Rucka (Finder), Greg Rucka (Smoker), Greg Rucka (The Golden Compass), Phillip Pullman [audio book] Devil's Cape, Rob Rogers [ARC] (Shooting at Midnight), Greg Rucka (Critical Space), Greg Rucka Daredevil: The Devil, Inside and Out v2, Ed Brubaker Grimm Fairy Tales, Ralph Tedesco [not recommended] Television Without Pity: 752 Things We Love to Hate (and Hate to Love) About TV, Tara Ariano and Sarah D. Bunting Patriot Acts, Greg Rucka Spin, Robert Charles Wilson Greywalker, Kat Richardson Blood and Iron, Elizabeth Bear Whiskey and Water, Elizabeth Bear PS238 v4: Not Another Learning Experience! (His Majesty's Dragon), Naomi Novik (Throne of Jade), Naomi Novik (Black Powder War), Naomi Novik Empire of Ivory, Naomi Novik (The Subtle Knife), Phillip Pullman [audio book] Hammered, Elizabeth Bear
2008 4th Edition still devouring all reading time, so a pathetic list to date:
Torchwood: Border Princes, Dan Abnett Grant Morrison: The Early Years, Timothy Callahan No Reservations, Anthony Bourdain Heroes: Saving Charlie, Aury Wallington
Currently flipping between: Scardown, Elizabeth Bear; Heroes, collected webcomics; Torchwood: Another Life
On top of towering pile: last Daredevil trade; League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier; Queen and Country: Operation Red Panda
In conclusion: if it's comics or superhero-related, I read it. Not much room in brain for other material, barring work from the couple of authors I follow obsessively. I would make a resolution to elevate my material, but you know what? My free time, my melted brain. The underwear perverts* make me happy. So there.
