I read Marvel 1602 (Neil Gaiman) Camilla Send a noteboard - 31/10/2011 12:22:29 PM
From what I understand there are more books in this sequence than just Gaiman's, but I read it primarily because of my interest in Gaiman. I really liked it. I won't claim to be an expert on the Marvel Universe (the majority of my knowledge comes from films. Yes, I know :<img class=' />), but the setting of Elizabethan England and the Inquisition's Spain really worked for me. And the drawings were pretty. I had some fun spotting superheroes.

I'm reading A Farewell to Arms, very slowly kHz1000 - 10/10/2011 04:36:53 PM 683 Views
Reading. Yeah, I remember that. Tom - 10/10/2011 06:27:36 PM 941 Views
That's a bit how I'm feeling these days. I read, but I don't remember anything. *NM* Rebekah - 10/10/2011 06:37:15 PM 348 Views
The final book is among the better ones, albeit completely unrelated to the rest of the series. *NM* Legolas - 10/10/2011 10:42:39 PM 352 Views
Either way, they're mercifully short works, compared to Der Zauberberg and Anna Karenina. Tom - 11/10/2011 01:07:59 AM 790 Views
It is perhaps the worst pile of shit I have read in a long time. Tom - 19/10/2011 03:04:12 AM 717 Views
Oh. I guess there's no accounting for tastes. Legolas - 19/10/2011 08:08:50 PM 773 Views
SMOOTH READ? That book is the definition of a choppy, disjointed piece of shit. Tom - 19/10/2011 08:30:22 PM 796 Views
