        I'm currently reading Zombie Spaceship Wasteland: A Book by Patton Oswalt on my Kindle. I'm a big fan of Oswalt, I just finished watching his newest stand up special on Netflix and though I'd check out one of his books, I'm really enjoying it so far.

            Cool, I'm almost through it, so "Silver Screen Fiend" might be next!

              I finished Joe Abercrombie's the Blade Itself, and loved it. I am looking forward to diving in to the rest of the series.

              I was less enamored of Gentleman of the Road by Michael Chabon. I discovered Chabon with TheAdventures of Kavalier and Clay, which I loved, but I have been disappointed by just about everything else I read for Chabon. Gentleman of the Road was a histotical adventure novel featuring a pair of adventures in Asie Minor circa 950 AD, but just lacked the punch needed in a gripping adventure tale.

              I also revisited Planetary by Warren Ellis and John Cassaday. Man I love that series, I devoured all 4 volumes of the trade, and each time I read that series I find more stuff to love.

              I am currently reading a GN adaptation of Octavia Butler's The Parable of the Sower with art by JohnJennings (of the Black Kirby collective I mentioned in a previous post) and just started the Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch, the first book of the Gentleman *******s series that has been highly recommended to me.

              The second Abercrombie book, Before They Were Hanged, is on deck.

                This arrived today. Bukowski was fond of Jeffers, so starting tomorrow, I will Be Angry at the Sun.

                  Just finished listening to the new Max Brooks release Devolution.
                  It was pretty good, I'd recommend it if you were a fan of World War Z as well as bigfoot.

                    Started Pure Invention by Matt Alt today, should be a good read.

                    About Pure Invention

                    The untold story of how Japan became a cultural superpower through the fantastic inventions that captured—and transformed—the world’s imagination.

                      I remember Matt from the old ToyboxDX days.

                        Yeah, I remember good ol' Matt as well, he's a good writer, I'll have to check out this book.

                        I'm currently reading Blood Fire Death: The Swedish Metal Story, it covers a lot of bands that I'm a fan of.

                            Re-reading 'Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail.' I was assigned to read this in college. It is at times depressing given Hunter Thompson's pithy insights, but its' helping me process this election as well.

                              I just finished Devolution by Max Brooks, which is a horror story involving a tribe of Big Foots (Big Feet?). He also wrote the zombie book World War Z. I thought the new book was pretty good. Looks like the rights have already been sold to make it into a movie.
