David Mitchell (no, not that one) is one of the most adorable people that too few people have heard of. I was vaguely familiar with his shows Peepshow and That Mitchell and Webb Look, but it wasn’t until I discovered that almost every episode of Would I Lie to You? was on Youtube that I truly became smitten with his wry, self-deprecating humor. He is so unambiguously British, and has wholly accepted the posh characterization that has somewhat artificially been placed upon him, I don’t […]
Spiders…Why did it have to be spiders?
If this was a zombie book, I think I’d end up giving it 4 stars. If this was a zombie book, it would probably be more popular. If this was a zombie book, I’d have already gotten the sequel, Skitter (which came out in May). But this isn’t a zombie book. Which isn’t, of course, to say that this book isn’t fun – it is. Nor is it to say that you shouldn’t read this if you’re into post-apocalyptic horror stories – you should. But […]
Somewhat Marvelous
It’s a little weird reading comics after so many years. I used to be an avid collector and dreamt of being an artist one day, until I figured out that I could get more entertainment for less money by reading novels. So I haven’t really read many comics in about 20 years. But I do miss the art. The art here by Adrian Alphona and David Lopez is pretty great, though very different, stylistically. Alphona is looser, less compact, which is actually perfect for the […]
We are all Sansa Stark….and I probably went too far in my Cannonball
It is, perhaps, fitting that it’s taken me so long to finish these books (and write this review). I started reading A Game of Thrones at the end of June (and started this review on the 28th), and I’m sitting here well over a month later. I’ve read a couple other books in that time – but I’ve mostly been working my way through this series. It’s taken me longer to read these four/five books (4,300+ pages) than it did to read Harry Potter (4,000+ pages) […]
