Words on paper in this technological world, reading anything?

"H. P. Lovecraft : Against the World, Against Life", by Michel Houellebecq (had to look up the name to write it right xD), found it in an used book shop, bought it for a few coins and I am not disapointed, as the book, rather than give a straight biography of HPL, shows the influence of his experiences on his works and the ideas he defended. A short, interesting read.

American Gods because Neil Gaiman is amazing.

Going to have to do my annual American Gods/Anansi Boys reading sometime.

American Gods was a fantastic book. Wish I still had my old copy, but I ended up giving it to the guy who'd suggested it to me in the first place so he could re-read it.

Not sure if comics count, but I've gone ahead and re-read all of Joe Hill's Locke and Key. Hands down, one of the best comics I've ever read. Five issues to be released, and it's kind of a bittersweet feeling. While I simply cannot wait for the conclusion, I just don't want it to be over so soon.

More comics I've been reading lately:

-Crossed. I've read every arc but Psychopath, and I don't know why I keep coming back. It's sick, disturbing, and really not all that great, but...I guess it's that morbid curiosity. I will say, the webcomic, Wish You Were Here, has been pretty good though.

-The Walking Dead...unpopular opinion time, but I think the series is kind of living up to its name. I kinda want someone to go ahead and put it out of its misery. The comic is barely appealing anymore and the show pretty much lost me after season two. I still catch up on it from time to time, but eh. Telltale Games' version of the series reigns supreme.

-House of Mystery. Interesting enough. It's supposed to play out as an anthology series with a larger, more important story arc going on outside of the tales. Started to go downhill toward the end, though. But there were dinosaurs and vampire cats. And a ninja gorilla. In space.

-Revival. Only six issues so far, but it's pretty good. An interesting take on the whole dead rising again thing.

I totally agree on the Walking Dead.  I really lost interest in reading it shortly after the prison storyline because he with the subtlety of a sledgehammer it was made apparent there never will be a satisfying ending and the characters had all changed to the point I no longer really cared about them.  The show never did manage to hold my attention, and Tell Tale indeed is shining jewel in the walking dead crown.  I just hope they can make a strong season two given the drastic cast reduction/differences.

GE - Good Ending, damn amazing rom/com/drama, just amazing. The characters really sell it and like all good romance/drama in whatever medium, you feel for them. And this is one where I don't really have a preference to one gal.

Melanie Rawn's Dragon Prince Trilogy.
Book One ("Dragon Prince"): IGNORE the crap cover and title! Seriously! Yes, there's dragons. Yes, there's magic. But it's really about political intrigue and backstabbing fit for a Byzantine court ruled by The Borgias.
Halfway through the second book ("Star Scroll") and there's even more politics afoot. Most Fantasy books come with a map. Some even come with a list of characters. This blighter has these AND genealogies. Keeping track of the intrigues gives me a headache. In a good way.

Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea (Barbara Demick. 2009). Really good book. Real people in one of the worst countries in a world.
