- The Butterfly Mosque by G. Willow Wilson (A memoir that I loved, much more than I expected, to be honest; I found myself moved by Willow’s conversion to Islam and even moreso by her reasons for, and explanations of, converting – I like Air, her Vertigo comic, a lot, but this just seemed much stronger, more personal and interesting, to be honest.)
- The Creeper by Steve Ditko
- Jack Kirby’s The Demon and Silver Star by Jack Kirby
- Outside The Dog Museum and A Child Across The Sky by Jonathan Carroll (Re-reading both; Carroll was, as I’m sure I’ve said before here, a massive influence on my life and writing back when I was finishing high school, and I was happy to see that these books have dated better than I’d feared.)
…Not to mention a ridiculous number of other comics, websites and TiVo descriptions of television shows. Moviewise, it’s been Hamlet 2 (Not as good as it should’ve been; maybe I just expected more of Steve Coogan?), The Men Who Stare At Goats (Started well, terrible ending, and Ewan Macgregor’s accent is something that someone should’ve talked him out’ve before shooting started, I think) and Guys and Dolls, and television-wise, I’ve been enjoying Leverage, Doctor Who and that Work of Art show on Bravo that surprisingly seems like a successful merging of Top Chef, Project Runway and the art world. Not that you really care about any of this, of course, but I just wanted to share.
