I don't think I would make her choice.
She can do so much more as a librarian. Affect so many more people. Also seems strange this night librarians wouldn't have more clients if they show up every few years.

It also reminds me of myself a lot. Smart guy, sometimes (or often) think too much. I think I am easier to get along with though. And I have a partner that seems to like to keep me around.

Awfully nice that Mr. Thompson does little sketches at signings. But if his wrist hurts, seems like should be okay to just signs books.
The book makes me want to visit Barcelona, Thompson clear didn't like Morocco much.
Good stuff but read Habibi and Blankets first.(less)

This is a graphic novel that says a lot in spare passages on the farm. It’s about lost ambitions, death, loss, family, hockey and heartbreak.
The spareness of it is what stands out to me. Interconnected stories mainly in one small town by the farm, and 2 family trees.

I feel like we are still in the dark ages with cancer treatment. Chemotherapy and radiation do so much harm. Didn't love the artwork in this one, felt it detracts from the story.(less)
Very cool little story. Artwork was exceptional. I feel like this book just starts on a trip to a bizarre, dark and wonderful world.

Reminds me a lot of the HBO series "Carnivale". Look forward to more work from these authors.(less)
I do think Sacco is at his best with book length journalism but a very solid work.
The story about poverty in India,...moreGood and often difficult reporting.
I do think Sacco is at his best with book length journalism but a very solid work.
The story about poverty in India, refugees in Chechnya, and about African immigrants in Malta were particularly good.
Joe Sacco is one of the best journalists working in the world today. I wish more journalists were able to show themselves in their work, it leads to richer journalism.

I think the most interesting story is what a mess criminal justice and prisons are in the United States. And of course how much the media can change the story.(less)

In an odd way reminded me of the Transformers movie where people died all over the place for battles between the characters. Not really my thing.(less)
