Yeah, I have been told to read that book on threat of my life.

I also like The Brother's Grimm.

Fairytales are still cool.

Ive read all the Discworld series and all of Gaimans novels (not some of his other stuff though). Good Omens is hilarious.

I love and hate it when a new Pratchett book comes out, because I get it, and read it in like a day and then its done :(

That's why you need a six hundred page Haruki Murakmai book!

I just finished this not too long ago. It's really amazing. If you ever want to live as somebody else in another world, read this book. It's perfect story telling.

My friend is supposed to lend me Kafka On The Shore but she can't find it.

Er, Murakami also gets pretty graphic and detailed.

Er, maybe. I've only read this one so far.
But he is really weird. Still an amazing story teller, though.

Alan Moore is another favorite, if he counts. At least, his output in the 80s. It's cliche now, but V for Vendetta and Watchmen are some of my favorite books. I first picked up Watchmen at a library when I was ten with absolutely no knowledge of the medium to put it into context, and even then it was fantastic and enthralling as an action packed thriller. Now, with numerous readings, and knowing a lot more about comic books in general, I appreciate it even more, on a totally different level.

Read Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson. It stars a cynical, one time journalist who has been called down from his mountain cabin to fulfill his book contracts in the city he sought to escape. It's full of future-shock and social and political commentary and his name is Spider Jerusalem.

Yeah, I've heard about it, but my library doesn't have it, and that's the only place I can get comic books until I have a job.

The trade paperback is $15 and has like three or four chapters in each.

But what'll happen if I like it? It's 10 volumes long. I don't have 150 dollars.

So don't buy them all together. Buy one every time your balls drop.

Sounds like a plan.

Wait they're supposed to drop?
