Just finished Lost at Sea. Part of me hates buying graphic novels because I can blow through em in like an hour.

It was a good read. A good coming of age story about a girl who is 18 and wondering about life and what it all means. Also she doesn't have a soul, because a cat took it.

Yes I know STALKER doesn't take place after a holocaust.

It's the setting, eviroment and the character themes.
Farfetched? How so. Its great. I loved it.
I don't mean like, what you probably think I mean, I mean just that I want to read about a guy in a blow out city in a two room apartment writing in a journal as the building sags and a small fire is going on the room, his assault rifle right beside him.

Yes, but that's a little broad and not the kind of thing I was looking for.

It was a great book though.

About to start The Count of Monte Cristo. Apparently it's one of the greatest books ever.

Started and finished all of Scott Pilgrim in 2 days. About an hour a book was good.
