Things to read

Stuff I wanna read (you know, in case you were curious)...

• Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq - heard the author on NPR a few days ago
• Lost Girls (collected) - new Alan Moore, an automatic for me...plus a good quick review from Wired magainze
• League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier - more Moore...not-yet-released third volume of the League...the first two were outstanding
• 100 Bullets - supposedly a great comic series...this is the first collection
• Top Ten - more Moore...another one that's supposed to be a great ongoing series but that I haven't picked up yet...PLCH has the second volume but not the first
• Astro City: Family Album - third volume in the Astro City run...the first two were outstanding...wonderful, totally new world of heroes that reference so many parts of the genre
• Invincible: The Facts of Life - another ongoing series, this I've read the first four collected volumes but haven't been able to hunt down #s 5 or 6...
• Shakey: Neil Young's Biography - I dig Neil as an artist (though his last couple of albums have left me cold) and have always been a little curious as to his past
• Kurt Vonnegut's books - I haven't read nearly enough of them
• Invisible Monsters - some of my favorite books were written by Chuck Palahniuk...might as well give his others a try
• Survivor - another Palahniuk that's on the list
• The Sandman Papers: An Exploration of the Sandman Mythology - The Sandman series is one of the most impressive pieces of comic writing that I've read...anything that looks at that in more depth is worth at least a glance
• The 25th Hour - great film, supposedly a very good book
• Crimes Against Nature - might give away a bit of my political stance, but that's life
• Infinite Crisis - in the DC universe, it's supposed to be Earth-shattering...might as well know what's happening...sort of the same with Civil War over in Marvel world
