I'm midway through Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo. Ineed to pick up Vols 4-6.

In the last month or two I enjoyed Robopocalypse & its sequel Robogenesis by Daniel H. Wilson, finally checked out The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton (dug it), and The Life and Afterlife of Harry Houdini by Joe Posnanski.
I also wrapped up my outbreak/pandemic jag by re-listening to The Stand in its entirety...

Just finished rereading Wilde's De Profundis, in my new Folio edition.

Just arrived today: The Road Through Wonderland

All roads lead to the little white home on Wonderland Ave., deep in Laurel Canyon.

[Confessional]

^^ I did exactly the same, pouring through that killer book today! Many of the items pictured come out of few of the best Misfits/Samhain/Danzig collections, so it's really a pleasure to see so much original ephemera documented in one tome.

It sent me into a 'Fits spin… currently listening to Eerie Von's Bad Dream No. 13 and buying rare CDs tonight.

I just finished Scream With Me: The Enduring Legacy of The Misfits. Admittedly, it's probably about 80% photos of their various albums, singles, flyers, t-shirts, etc. But what photos! I'd be seriously collecting this stuff if I wasn't worried about all the counterfeits floating around out there.

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.

You know Max Brooks is the son of Legendary Comedy Director Mel Brooks, yeah?

Been slowly grinding away at the original Dragonball manga, but this is what I've accumulated in the last couple weeks:

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.

[Godzilla]

Just finishing the autobiography of Shirley Temple.

[cjefferys]

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.

[J.B.]

I remember Matt from the old ToyboxDX days.
