Book Review – Earthlings by Sayaka Murata
I’m gonna go ahead and DNF this and feel like I need to give it 1 star as a result. It is a TOUGH read. The summary describes a series of “terrible events” and that is a HARD undersell. This was absolutely brutal.
Bite-Size Comics Review: Once & Future, Vol. 2: Old English by Kieron Gillen, Dan Mora, and Tamra Bonvillain
I am liking Once & Future so much that I had to look back through all of the Kieron Gillen comics I’ve read to see if there’s anything I’ve had more fun reading.
Comics Review: Wonder Woman, Earth One: Volume 3 by Grant Morrison, Yanick Paquette, and Nathan Fairbairn
Is it perfect? No. Is it heavy handed? Maybe at times. Is it effective? Yes. Is it a good Wonder Woman comic? Yes. Is it beautiful? Again, yes.
Book Review – First Person Singular by Haruki Murakami
First Person Singular is a new collection of short stories by Haruki Murakami. In typical Murakami fashion, all of the stories are told in first person by narrators that are never given names. Also in typical Murakami fashion, most of what is written here blurs the line between reality and fiction.
Comics Review – Dragon Hoops by Gene Luen Yang
Well I loved this.
I’d been putting off reading this for no real good reason. It’s been at the library available for most of the past year and I’ve really liked Yang’s previous original graphic novels. Based on the name and cover I was vaguely aware Dragon Hoops had something to do with basketball. I love basketball…it’s one of the few things I love as much as reading.
