Trying to read Neuromancer by William Gibson
Having a hard time focusing on reading, and its due back to the library in 5 days. I don't think I'm gonna make it.
On the other hand, I blew through the comic series "Saga" (or at least the half that has been released...ahhhhhhh cliffhangers I'm in another Game of Thrones situation now) and am making my way through Y: The Last Man at a lightning pace. Cuz comics has pickshures, and law school fried my gourd I guess.

Picked this up recently:  Passed my “1st page didn’t bore me” test. Writer comes off very intelligent and funny. |

Been working my way thru a stack of comic TPBs I have never read. Death Defying Devil-Nice art,decent story. Not sure how it would read to anyone that hasn't read the Project Superpowers stuff. Ultimate Captain America-Jason Aaron wrote this mini. Love that Nuke is the lead villain. Megaton Man-This collects a sadly forgotten 80s parody comic. Still surprised how much Ben Edlund was inspired by/ripped off Megaton Man with The Tick. |

It is about two people who can stop time by having sex and use that ability to rob banks.  |

Cyborg by Martin Caidin
Astronaut Steve Austin crashes during a test flight and loses both legs and one arm, gets them replaced with bionic limbs, and becomes a secret agent. Yup. It’s the novel that The Six Million Dollar man was based on. A bit slow at first because Caidin goes into excruciating detail about what happened and how they fixed it. The second half is a bit more of a basic action plot. A fun book.

Put Twin Peaks the Final Dossier to the side,cause I finally got a copy of Kenneth Anger's Hollywood Babylon.  Been hearing about this book for decades now. But never could find a copy for cheap. Got it in the other day and so far have read 3 chapters. Yea I have heard lots of the stories in this book are total bullshit. But so far it is a great read. |
