books

I thought it might be interesting to try to post books that I'm reading. Yesterday we went to the library and I got a few graphic novels, so I can start the list with:
Wonder Woman : love and murder by Jodi Picoult
Serenity : those left behind by Joss Whedon
Astro City : local heroes by Kurt Busiek, Kurt

I enjoyed the graphic novels. The art in the first two was very good. The stories were quite compressed, though, which was a little disappointing (because I wanted more).

I'm also in the middle of Wheel of the Infinite by Martha Wells. Martha Wells is one of my very favorite authors. I've added Stargate: Atlantis to my Netflix queue solely because she has started writing S:A novels, which I can't really appreciate as much because I've never seen the show. I read her other novels probably about once a year.

Today's random quotation (in honor of the recent college graduates in my family):
Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get 'em laminated.

Ha, nice quote. Can you sell them on ebay, too, to make money? :)
Also, you didn't happen to get "La Perdida" or "The Magical Life of Long Tack Sam" at the library did you? I need to do a presentation for class with another person, and those were the two we talked about using, but now they're not at the biblioteca... :) Anyway, see ya tuesday. :)
