What a great start, everyone!
I finished The Sandman, Vol. 6: Fables and Reflections yesterday.
264/40,000"
I'm starting the Sandman Series, is it good?

Thanks. I was going to try to link to the original but couldn't figure out how.

Chris, I love it. It has a lot of really cool myth. The first volume is not quite as good as the rest, so be sure to try it at least through the second volume.

I finished a 2nd book today. 233 is the closest listed edition I could find to the copy I have (mine is 234 before all of the discussion questions, etc, which I did not read).

@Traci - The Guardians of the Galaxy comics look really good. Are you enjoying them?

I can go by Nicole W. or Cole; Whichever is easier for you.
Just wanted to let you know, so you can get that corrected. ;)
