Early Review Of Watchmen #1

Back when comics were a relatively small subculture, the Comics Buyer’s Guide was like the New York Times of its world. Before there was an internet, this was how everyone kept up on news. The impact it had on me is immeasurable.

Last night I read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie and I loved every page. Today I begin Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson.

Libraries really are wonderful. Better than bookshops, even. I mean bookshops make a profit on selling you books, but libraries just sit there lending you books quietly out of the goodness of their hearts.

I’m sorry but it’s the nature of all tragedies, Harold. The hero dies, but the story lives on forever.

Day 21: favourite book from your childhood. My copy of Charlotte’s Web is the most tattered book in my shelves. I had read it over and over and over until I could recite whole passages. I’m not sure why I was so drawn to it, I mean, it was about a pig and a spider, but something about this book enthralled me for many years. It’s been a while since I’ve read it, but maybe it will makes its way onto my Reading List soon.

My current read for my Children’s Literature class.
