ewee (25/26): catching up...

The Big Squeeze by Steven Greenhousestill nowhere near able to post anything of substance, but thanks to the cold i've been fighting, i've managed to *almost* catchup. one more book this week? new book reports?...stay tooned. in the meantime, here's the listing thus far.

[warning: many books with pictures. and even some without words...also at least a couple of these completely sucked.]


18/26: Axis by Robert Charles Wilson
- good to ok. nothing like Spin, but ok.

19/26: The Dog Who Loved Too Much by Robert Dodson
- completely sappy waste of time. and tho i love sap and dogs, don't bother with this one.

20/26: The Big Squeeze by Steven Greenhouse
- excellent. took me forever to read, because i had to chew on it all (and take notes along the way). might go back and buy this one.

21/26: Bios by RCW
- another ok RCW fix. quick read, good airplane fodder. (and if it hadn't've been a library book, i'd've happily jettisoned it for the luggage space on the way home...)

22/26: Gordon Yamamoto And The King Of The Geeks by Gene Yang
- Gene Yang brought us American Born Chinese. loved that, loved this. quirky, odd, and sweetly deep. well drawn and written.

23/26: The Lost Ones by Steve Niles
- Ugh. you get what you pay for...this was a freebie at Green Apple. some misguided microsoft art thing. anyone want my copy? ugh.

24/26: Robot Dreams by Sarah Varon
- Beautiful, poetic, sweet. Buying more for friends. No words, kinda sappy, but in a really lovely touching way.

25/26: Devadatta (Buddha, Vol. 3) by Osamu Tezuka
- Amazing. Stayed up till 3am to read this. Beautiful line work, amazing amazing amazing. Gonna get all of the volumes as soon as I can...

Thanks, y! Yeah, that book was worth its own report. I'll have to get back to it when I've got the time.

And I agree--can't believe it's been a year. But also glad to have this push to read. Thanks again!
