Makes sense.
I know a lot of kids who didn't like The Watchmen because it wasn't superhero enough.

I am still on my DG fix and working my way through his books (only for the third time!)

The bomb-Theodore Taylor it's a pretty good book.

I'm currently reading Watchmen but on the subject of Graphic novels, Y: The Last Man is an amazing one, which the director of Disturbia is creating a triology about to be aired next year. I hope.

I was addicted to Gemmell for quite a while, and my fave is Echoes of the Great Song.

I have recently been on a heavy non-fiction run, with my most recent aquisitionéfinish being David G Schwartz`s Roll the Bones: A History of Gambling.

Very well written book, full of anecdotal stories, an unflinchingly honest study of the human fixation on chance and risk. Easy to read, with a flowing format that moves forward chronologically in a series of engrossingly well-written chapters.

A book I highly recommend to any person with an interest in human nature and cultural trends/foibles.
