Powers is still one of the best comics out there.

Supreme Power

dunno if you're into super-hero, but She-Hulk and Cable & Deadpool are two of the funniest books being published.

I'm not into DC Universe stuff, primarily Marvel X-family and the Ultimate line.

The Army of Darkness books are funny, though really fast reads. great art though

I'm waiting to see what IDW does with Transformers and the new Metal Gear Solid series.

Currently working through Dark Tower 4: Wizard and Glass by Stephen King. It took me just under a year to work through The Stand in preparation for this one. I just finished up Play Poker like the Pros by Phil Helmuth. After this, I've got Chainfire by Terry Goodkind (sword of truth series) and Knife of Dreams by Robert Jordan (Wheel of Time series) lined up. My reading list is set for the next year or so... I just can't work through them as fast as I could back in college.

I'm actually reading more now than I did in college, which still isn't as much as I used to read. I do want to get the new one by Richard Preston.

Just finished reading Knife of Dreams by Robert Jordan and Carbohydrate Chemistry: Principles and Approaches from Organic Chemistry by Jamie Rich. Next up is Angels and Demons by Dan Brown.


"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children, to earn the approbation of honest critics; to appreciate beauty; to give of one's self, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived--that is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Just finished her new book... "Spook." Subtitle is "Science Tackles the Afterlife" or something like that, I already loaned it out to someone. It was all right.

Currently reading "The Whole Shebang: A State of the Universe(s) Report" by Timothy Ferris (I'm on a new popular cosmology kick) and "Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Backburner books: "Quicksilver" by Neal Stephenson, "Eragon" by that 15 year old boy (I promised somebody I would at least try to read it), and "A Treasury of Deception" by Michael Farquhar.

I freaking love this christmas break. FREAKING. LOVE.
and i am nothing of a builder
but here i dreamt i was an architect
and i built this balustrade
to keep you home, to keep you safe
from the outside world
but the angles and the corners
even though my work is unparalelled
they never seemed to meet
this structure fell about our feet
and we were free to go

I quite enjoyed that series.

Basically a fat girl who turns skinny and doesn't feel like her life changes. It's actually a really good read.
