Read a collection of Terry Laban's Eno and Plum comic strips. This early 90s comic strip is a what if Betty from Archie grew up and married the biggest slacker in the world. Plus how can you hate a comic with a great parody of the Cathy comic strip.

Read the Bat Boy comic strip collection from the Weekly World News over the past few days. For an actual book the last one I read was ring of hell. Up to 20 books so far this year. SO hitting my goal of 101 shouldnt be that hard.

I just read this french book called "The Opposing Shore". It is about two fictional countries that been in a 200 year old Cold War and this guy Aldo who is sent to a military fortress and starts stirring shit. Philosophically I didn't really understand it but the writing is sleepy and "atmospheric". I don't know, I liked it.

Been continuing with this...

Star Wars: Tattoine Ghost - A book that was written post-prequel trilogy but was written to fit chronologically in right after Courtship of Princess Leia. Mainly a Leia/Han book where they chase after a piece of art on Tattoine while Leia "comes to grips" with her past (incorporating her learning stuff from the prequel trilogy about Anakin and Anakin's mom)..... I'd say 6/10.... was not too hot on it, especially in light of the books that I read after it...


Which were....

Star Wars: Heir to the Empire
Star Wars: Dark Force Rising
Star Wars: The Last Command

Otherwise known as "The Thrawn Trilogy". I loved it.... each book just got better. 10/10 as a whole.... loved all the new characters, and it really felt like I could have been watching a new trilogy.

SPOILER: show
Felt like the death of Thrawn was rather anti-climactic, though... should have been a bigger deal/moment

Life after Death by Damien Echoals

Grabbed this cheap a few days back. Decent read with a few slow points. Combination of his old journals and his diaries when he was in jail.

After the Golden Age by Carrie Vaughn

Decent superhero novel. Celica is the daughter of a superman and wonder woman stand ins. She has no powers and is tired of their villains always kidnapping her. But now she has a chance to help send their biggest threat to jail.

Owen Jones - The Establishment: And How the Get Away With It 8.5/10

Every time I finished a chapter I felt angry, and usually that is a good sign, as few books I read elicit a strong emotion from me. I don't particularly follow politics as for the longest time I've just had the view that all politicians are self-serving hypocrites who whore themselves to the highest bidder, but the picture this book paints of the incestuous relationship between politicians, corporations, and the media just reveals the extent in which the Government is compromised.

This is an overtly left-wing book so I need to balance it out with some neo-liberal literature, but on the whole, I come away feeling that railways and utilities need to be renationalised, and big corporations need to be challenged and tempered. But, while both Labour and the Conservative politicians continue to have no qualms sucking on the neo-liberal teat, nothing is going to be done to change the disparity in British Society.

Crikey. This reads like some first year undergrad student ranting against the machine, but this book just left me angry.

Finished reading Star Wars: Jedi Academy Trilogy

Consisting of "Jedi Search", "Dark Apprentice", and "Champions of the Force"

I'd rate it maybe 7.5/10...

Felt very "weird" because it tries to reconcile Thrawn trilogy with the "Dark Empire" comic books which felt like a "different take entirely" on what happens post-rotj. So trying to reconcile the two "takes"/"continuities" was very "messy"....

Still, there were some "cool moments" in the trilogy....

On the whole, though, felt that the "antagonists" were really weak in this... like they were just "there" and didn't really pose anything other than a "minor nuisance".... never felt like any of them were "major threats"....

Star Wars: I, Jedi - 7/10

Was a very weird book because it felt like two books, really.... First half of the book was basically a giant retcon, retconning this one character into the events of the previous book trilogy and retelling it from his POV. The second half was his further adventures. Overall pretty average.

Mail order mysteries

This is about all the shit they use to sell in comic books. Stuff like sea monkeys,x-ray specs and other junk.

Neat book. But not worth cover price.

So, basically novelty/gag stuff that's mostly relegated to specialty boutique stores like Spencer's Gifts these days?

Yeah pretty much. But they also included stuff like how in the 50s and 60s you could order pet monkeys and other odd things.

Yeah, I gathered that. I guess it sounds like it could be sorta cool if you had nothing else worth reading, but probably not as much of a page-turner as one would think.

I enjoyed it cause I remembered seeing most of the stuff in ads as a kid reading comics.

It isn't worth the cover price. But isn't hard to find cheap.
