Hook, line and sinker!

+ most awesome book ever

I'm sitting at my desk at work rocking back and forth in my chair, partly because of a caffeine buzz, but mostly because of the anticipation I feel about the Twilight movie coming out this Friday. I'm 32 years old and I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm absolutely in love with the entire series. ...

Bill Willingham

Vertigo, 2002

Best comic book series ever?

+ Off to a Great Start
+ Very Good But Not Spectacular Start

This will go down in comics history as one of the top comic books in the industry if not the best. A testament to the series is that it transcends the hobby where even soccer moms, schoolteachers, and others that wouldn't normally pick up a comic book like it. When it comes to comic book geeks we ...

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Penguin Books, 2007

Shines Brilliantly Like a Just-Discovered Piece of Cameo Jewelry from a Bygone Era

+ The Great Gatsby
+ Best of the Best
