what keeps you company in the bathroom now?

Just a general wonderment as to what's got you turning pages currently.

Right now, before me I am reading:

"No Country for Old Men"-Cormac McCarthy
"A Right to Be Hostile: The Boondocks Treasury"-Aaron McGruder
"Singing with the Angels"-Nick Hornby (editor)
"Chinese Takeout"-Arthur Nersesian (re-reading...my personal all-time favorite novel)

I have too much more lined up, but I do so enjoy it, haha.

What does everyone else enjoy?

All my best.

Just reorganized my bedside stack

I just swapped some things out of and into my bedside stack. Just finished the most recent Funny Times a few days ago, as well as John Patrick Deveney's biography of Paschal Beverly Randolph (who? What, you're not up on 19th-century Rosicrucians and sex magicians?)

On the headboard right now are:

  • Box Office Poison by Alex Robinson. Started it years ago when it was an Antarctic series, never finished it so am reading the TPB, which was picked up at SPX a few years ago.
  • Dracula, Prince of Many Faces: His Life and His Times by Radu R. Florescu & Raymond T. McNally. Bio, a gift the other half gave me at least 10 years ago.
  • The Artist's Resource Handbook by Daniel Grant. Picked up a few years ago but never got a Round Tuit (see a pattern to what I just put on my reading pile?). Am really looking for a good replacement for Lee Wilson's "Make It Legal" on the "further reading list" in the cartooning course I teach at Greenfield Community College. This probably isn't it, though there's plenty useful stuff here.
  • The Bird Watcher's Anthology edited by Roger Tory Peterson (1957). The only book on this list older than I am; brought home from my late mother's house circa 1995. Had to make some room on the shelf for the new guidebooks, so this went into the Current Reading pile.

Northlanders and Jack of Fables got put ahead of everything else once I got them home yesterday. Fortean Times coming soon....

Box Office Poison

I really dug that book.

Box Office Poison

I got to meet Alex Robinson @ the New York Comic Con. His wife was standing next to him and it was pointed out to me later that she is the spitting image of the Helga character in the book. Thought that was cool. They were both super nice people.

The end.

I'll take a stab at this.

Currently in a heap before me:

Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln - Doris Kearns Goodwin
Black Markets: The Supply & Demand of Body Parts - Michele Goodwin
Depletion & Abundance: Life on the New Home Front - Sharon Astyk
The Alphabet of Manliness - Maddox

Team of Rivals is some 944 pages so it'll be quite some time before I leave the bathroom.

Also, thanks for the Nersesian name-drop, I'll have to check it out.

nevr lurnt to red...

Lovecraft: a Biography, by L. Sprague deCamp (he is not a fan, but his years of research are interesting)
Lords of Light, by Roger Zelazny (the Hindu pantheon as smart science fiction!)

and tons of comix for review purposes. actually- 3.2 tons. I weighed them.

Ohh. ohh. My turn

Marvel: A Year by Year History
The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Woa
New Avengers
Y the Last Man
Wikipedia

Y: The Last Man

Did you finish reading all of Y: The Last Man? If so, how did you feel about that ending??

Y: the last man

I just started it. Like a week ago. So....I'm very far from the ending. Please don't spoil! I am enjoying it very much so far.
