September 2016 Bookpost
My September reading reflects two key decisions: (1) I should really start working on my Comixology backlog, and (2) I should work some of the piles on my to-be-read bookcase from the bottom up. The four graphic novels are the result of #1; the two non-fiction reads the result of #2.
74. The Killing Joke, Alan Moore (writer), Brian Bolland (artist)
75. Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, Susan Cain
76. Morning Glories, Vol. 1, Nick Spencer (writer), Joe Eisma (artist) (graphic novel)
77. How Mirka Met a Meteorite, Barry Deutsch
78. Iron Man: Extremis, Warren Ellis (writer), Avi Granov (artist)
79. Broken, Susan Jane Bigelow - First book in the Extrahuman Union series. A bit of everything here: super-powered humans, aliens, an oppressive government, and a mother and baby on the run. A surprisingly hopeful tale despite the dystopian world in which it is set.
80. The Golden Egg, Donna Leon
81. Jim Henson: A Biography, Brian Jay Jones - I learned a lot of interesting tidbits about Henson from this one. For example, I knew he attended the University of Maryland (which is why you’ll find a bench occupied by sculptures of him and Kermit), but didn’t know the Hensons lived in Maryland for a time.
82. Too Like the Lightning, Ada Palmer
83. Lightspeed #76 (September 2016)
84. Apex Magazine #88 (September 2016)
