This a book to be read in one sitting, because for it to work, you almost have to be enveloped by the word play and rhythm of the piece. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17744216 to: The Wordy Shipmates (Hardcover) by Sarah Vowell
This was a boring little voyage, essentially trying to invoke a little more white guilt over the mistreatment of Indians some four hundred years ago. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/28545477 Soon I Will Be Invincible (Hardcover) by Austin Grossman

An interesting, if a little dry and disjointed look the end of the world. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23891637 to: Proof Volume 1: Goatsucker (Paperback) by Alex Grecian
While a good idea (fantastical creatures exists, they are kept hidden from humans by a secret organization, and one of the agents is Bigfoot) that takes way too much from the Hellboy idea pool, proof never comes close to being that entertaining. While the art is decent, like someone tried copying Ben Templesmith's style, but lacked the skills, the writing is what really sinks this series. The flow of the story is broken up by this cryptoids (pop-up facts) that are amusing, but not needed. There was nothing fresh or interesting about this series, and I cannot recommend this to anyone. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18603083 to: The Areas of My Expertise (Paperback) by John Hodgman
