Still reading "Y: The Last Man". Pretty good. I have the first two compilations, and I think there's one more being released this month. That should cover the entire series.

Keith and the Girl - one of my favourite podcasts - they wrote a hilarious, yet honest relationship book

Not really for "reading" but great photography.

If you like Y, you definitely need to check out The Walking Dead. I think it's the best graphic novel I've ever read and the story isn't even finished yet. It's a lot like Y but WAY more realistic and WAY more mature. I liked it better than Watchman, Y, Trans-Met, Preacher, pretty much everything . . .

It's a super realistic zombie story, and while I'm as sick of zombie fudge as just about everyone, this one is something else, something real, something really fresh. It's like exactly how everything would go down if zombies really started rising from the dead, it's a trip. It starts off a lot like 28 Days Later, which originally turned me off a little, but it evolved quickly. It's really about how human beings cope with disaster and crisis. It really gets you thinking that's for sure.

I just finished this compendium . . .

It's over a thousand pages and weighs over 5 pounds, a bit intimidating at first but well worth it. I highly suggest anyone who's interested in graphic novels check it out! Reverend ToneZone's seal of approval for sure!

Oh, P.S.

The story just got picked up by A&E. They're gonna make it into a series. It's gonna be written and directed by Frank Darabont . . . yeah, the writer and director of Shawshank Redemption Frank Darabont! I highly suggest reading it before the series starts up. You've got until October, get on it!

The Crystal Cave (again)- 1st in an Arthurian trilogy told from Merlin's POV as an old man. Starting with Merlin as a child and progressing into Arthur's reign, it takes everything grandiose about the legend and brings it down to earth, magic and all. by Mary Stewart.
