My Civil War Year
Occasionally I'll fill out a year quite inadvertently with a running theme in what I'm reading. One year I read a number of adaptations of The Iliad, and that was My Iliad Year. Another year I read all of L. Frank Baum's Oz books, and that was My Oz Year. This year I ended up reading a fair bit about the American Civil War, and so it was My Civil War Year.
Because I, ah, tend to accumulate a lot

| When I was in college, there were books we read that fell into the category of world literature, and Crooked Plow feels as if it should be destined to join that number. It’s an anthropologist’s dream, something that perhaps a number of people might b ...more | |

Chad's review
of
Thorn: The Complete Proto-Bone College Strips 1982-1986, and Other Early Drawings:
"This is something that any fan of Bone is going to want to read. Smith had all of the basics for Bone down all the way back in college and published a daily strip in Ohio State's paper for 4 years. It's amazing how much of one of the signature comics"

This collection of strips, the strips and Stephan’s commentary, feels like they’re specifically designed to reward fans. Everyone else is hosed. (And I got 50 Pearls points for this review!!!) |

| You know that audience reaction is going to be negative when it zeroes in on a single element. In the case of Heroes in Crisis, it's the idea that Wally West is "ruined" by his actions. Hogwash. Nonsense. This is yet another brilliant story from Tom ...more | |

| I think the ending is just about perfect. The narrator and/or author belabors most of the story, but there are enough twists (real and otherwise) that it’s well worth reading this late arrival from 1995 to Western audiences (meaning that much of what ...more | |

Mercyhurst was a pretty great community to be a part of for a year. I can only wonder what it would've been like for three more. I've never experienced a school merger. Erie itself was pretty great, reminded me a lot of my native Maine. I'm always working on something! Hope post collegiate life has treated you well.
Hi, Tony! Thanks for contacting me. Congratulations on your books! I hope you're well and having a great week. I'm glad you spent a year in Erie, PA, how did you like it? How did you like Mercyhurst? I attended Villa Maria College and Gannon University (during their merger--was accepted at both, started at Villa, graduated from Gannon. Have you ever lived through a school or college/university merger?). Well, happy reading, writing, and everything else, and all the best for future projects! Have a good day. Blessings!Best wishes from Majenta
