Books I've Read This Week
May 18, 2013 9:28 PM
(
9)Marvel Comics: The Untold Story by Sean Howe. Ug, sometimes it's not a good idea to learn how the sausage is made. As a long time comic book fan and a lover of Marvel comics for untold years I though it would be interesting to learn the story behind how some of my favourite comic books were produced. That was kinda a bad idea that left me feeling depressed.

Please note I haven't read the book (translate)

May 10, 2013 4:22 PM ( 16)This week has be a re-read week as the Heinlein book is this month's pick for the Ottawa Sci-fi and Fantasy Readers. The The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein.
