I did an amazing amount of not much today.

Over the past couple of weeks I've been reading The Boys by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. I've so far read up to issue #14 and I'm completely hooked on it. I picked it up completely at random, just attracted by the style of art, but boy am I glad I did!!! Lots of blood, gore, sex, violence, profanity, and black humor. Oh, those Brits Irish? They make me smile. =D

Oddly enough, Maryann has been reading Preacher and I look forward to reading that soon, as it's been recommended to me by a number of people.

Also, I'm trying to get ahold of myself because I'm still in the middle of a couple other things and I kind of try to avoid that: Watchmen and the first book in the Drizzt trilogy of Forgotten Realms. And yet, I just know that as soon as I can get my hands on the next Butcher book (and/or comic) -- that's all I'll be reading for what, 2 days? 'Cause that's probably how long it's going to take me to finish it. Unless it's a weekend day when I don't have any plans -- then it'll be just about 6 hours, most likely.

Damn good books for going so quickly.

I LOVE The Boys. Best thing in years from the anti-superhero set. The characters are good and it's a fabulous combination of horrible and beautiful in unequal doses. :D

Preaachhherrrr... Jesse Custer is one of my all-time comic crushes. ^^;;;

Maryann (my roommate) says I'd like him too. =D
