Good Reads

So I just joined a new site. It's called Good Reads and you can build a list of books you have read, books you are reading and list what are the next books you are going to read. You can also down load the HTML information to copy and past into a widget on your site for various lists you have or can create.

Review - Battlestar Galactica: Volume 1

This is my review of the graphic novel Battlestar Galactica: Volume 1. I’ve mentioned before about how much better graphic novels look on a bookshelf than regular comic books and this one maintains my thought about that. However there is one little extra thing to this graphic novel, this is a hardcover book. My copy came with a dust jacket with a photo of the actress Tricia Helfer on the cover. The actual cover of the book has a black gloss finish with the Battlestar Galactica emblem in the middle. Looks good with or without the dust jacket. I got my copy from Cinequest.com earlier this year as an impulse buy.

Reading

So I used to like to read alot but over the past........too many years, I found I was reading less books than I ever did. In 2008 I read a grand total of 5 books with about 1100 pages of text. For 2009 I wanted to get back to more like I used to be. At one time I would read 1-2 books a week. Well I don't think I will ever get back to that kind of reading again but I did do considerably better than I have in the past. Here is a list of what I read for 2009.

AF Books (Originally posted October 7, 2009)

So I took a long ride this weekend out to a comic shop named AF Books (Amazing Fantasy). They are the sister store of the publisher Moonstone Books. It was quite a ride for me as all of their stores are pretty far out. They have 4 locations in; Calumet City, Frankfort, Lockport and Tinley Park. I chose to go to the one in Frankfort althought the one in Tinley Park probably would have been a better choice for me. All of their locations are pretty far from me so if I do go out there it probably won't be to often.

Review - Kolchak: The Night Stalker, The Lovecraftian Horror (Originally posted October 3, 2009)

Ok so this is my first review. I’m going to use a 1-10 rating on reviews only because I feel that a rating system of 1-5 makes some ratings to close. So now that I got that out of the way the book I will be reviewing is titled “Kolchak: The Night Stalker, The Lovecraftian Horror.”

Reading/Books Links (Originally posted September 25, 2009)

So I love reading but don't get to do it as often as I like. I wanted to share some sites with you that I like going to. There is also a site to a great place to pick up books inexpensively. Enjoy.
