A Woman Ahead of Her Time
Wow. I have so much to say about this book. It was wonderful, engrossing, and hard to put down. It starts with Mary as a child who loses her mother and it is obvious from the get go that Mary has a problem with death, like many other people then and now. She tends to replace death with inanimate objects that give her comfort. She is a passionate woman. When she meets Mr. Lincoln (Indeed my ...

Will Eisner's The Spirit, Vol. 2

Darwyn Cooke

DC Comics, 2008

What's the opposite of spinning in your grave?
Just absolutely brilliant. I loved the first volume for the way Cooke effortlessly channeled Will Eisner for a new era, and he only got better as he went. Someone described this as like a season of Buffy, where all of the threads come together at the end and the whole thing just batters your brain with its awesomeness. And that seems about right to me. Cooke (and Bone and Stewart) turn in one ...

Good book. Very entertaining.
This is my very first ever fantasy or futuristic book I had read. I usually just read the regular romance novels, mysteries or suspense kind of books. I never had any interest in these fantasy books but I decided to read something different and found this book...by chance. I must admit, I really, really enjoyed reading this book. I stayed up until three in the morning and had to force myself ...

Superman: Kryptonite (Superman: Confidental, Book 1)

DC Comics, 2007

Shades of For All Seasons
There are two primary elements to the enjoyment of the writing of any novel; the caliber of the writing itself, and obviously the plot. Some stories are stronger in one area than the other, with an exceptional effort by one component having the ability to offset the deficiencies of its shameful counterpart. This trade is a good example of just that. Darwyn Cooke's artistic acumen at conceiving ...

The Sot-Weed Factor (The Anchor Literary Library)

John Barth

Anchor, 1987

comic masterwork.
I've read a few of Barth's books and this one stands out for sheer entertainment value and laughs. I think Barth has an original satirical mind but you might not agree. The book is long - and I'm a little averse to long novels. I dislike getting into a book and discovering that I'm far from finishing and not enjoying it much - yet still feeling somehow committed. I did not have this ...

H.L. Mencken

Vintage, 1990

A Great Joy
When Paul Johnson called Mencken the "Shakespeare of American Journalism" he wasn't exagerrating. "Star-Spangled Men," for example, is one of the most brilliant and hilarious commentaries to ever be written, and it should be mandatory reading for college students. In fact, this book should be a staple of American Studies curriculae. Just as it would be interesting and very helpful if we ...

Dead Man Kicking
I DIG THIS! And not just 'cause I get to see my name in print on practically every page. New to comics (I've got a lot of catching up to do,) I'd never even heard of The Spirit until I saw the movie trailer recently. Originally, this character was created by Will Eisner in the 1940s; this book re-introduces him to a new generation, bringing him right up to date (yes, there really was a pre-cell ...

DC's classic heroes presented in a fresh way
I recently enjoyed the "Justice League: The New Frontier" direct-to-DVD movie and decided to finally check out its literary inspiration, the "DC: The New Frontier" comic book mini-series. This volume collects the first three issues of that series. Like the animated film, I found this initial volume to be gripping and involving, and generally a lot of fun. As I said about the film, it was ...

STUNNING
This book is a stunning collection of Richard Serra's work over the years. Truly an American master. I am always intrigued by the choice to do Serra in black and white, but it works. I consider this book an essential addition to my collection of art texts.
