    Very cool. Is that a newer graphic novel or an older one?

    It was originally published last summer;
    a sequel is slated for release sometime this year.
    It is the second 'Earth One' book DC has released
    (Superman was the 1st, of course!)

    Cheers.

    Ham on Rye - Bukowski
    I've been fortunate enough to see Pearl Jam live.

    Just started last night. Almost half way through already.

    Just finished Joyland last night. Another good quick read by SK.
    I really liked this quote from the book:
    When you're twenty-one, life is a roadmap. It's only when you get to be twenty-five or so that you begin to suspect you've been looking at the map upside down, and not until you're forty are you entirely sure. By the time you're sixty, take it from me, you're fucking lost


    Up next:

    His first book and the only one of his I havent read yet.
    Sounds pretty interesting.
    The book explores the theme of government surveillance of electronically stored information on the private lives of citizens, and the possible civil liberties and ethical implications using such technology.

    "The Body"
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I may have bought more books this weekend... :oops: including this one that I just started...

    I almost bought "Something Wicked..." this weekend too, but decided to just get "The Cuckoo's Calling" by JK Rowling since my birthday gift card would only cover one book.

    How is "Something Wicked..."?

    I'm almost half way through and I'm really enjoying it so far...we bought a few other Bradbury books too, so I have to decide what to read next...but first I need to find more time to read... :|

    Currently reading Out of Sight by Elmore Leonard... Don't remember much from the movie so it's like a new read to me. Not sure where I'll go after this... plenty to choose from... I've been buying books faster than I can read them lately.

    I've been buying books faster than I can read them for YEARS. One of these days, I tell myself, I'm going to win the lottery so I can quit work and while my days away on some beach paradise with all my unread books. That would be the life.

    Now I'm reading the last of the original Time Quartet:

    a-swiftly-tilting-planet1.jpg

    Once I finish this, I'll read one more in this series to round off the Time Quintet, and then call it a day for the young adult books. I think I'm going to dive into the Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars books next ...

    Not bad ... started a bit slower than the other books in the series, but then it picked up toward the end and I really started to dig it. Definitely one of those books you have to re-read.

    Now I'm about 1/3 of the way through the final book of the quintet:
