Leave a Comment It’s time for an extremely belated edition of Reading Habits, in fact it’s so belated that it’s in entirely the wrong month. This kind of reflects my current apathy toward reading, which I hope it very temporary. Anyway, I just hope I can remember something about the bloody books from back in December. As always, my ‘to be read’ pile of books are kept in chronological order, and I alternately read the book I’ve had longest (marked B.H.L.), followed by a free choice (F.C.).

Liked Howard’s art for JLA and also love Mike Mignola – all that stuff. Also, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is some of the best art I’ve seen in comics…
Anyway, must dash!

Did it not drive you crazy to buy something that you hated??

My favourite Batman book is Frank Miller’s Year One – David Mazzucchelli’s artwork is fantastic. I could look at it all day.

Who was the artist that you like on Justice League?

I think I’ve read nearly all of them – bar the recent ones, mainly because I just don’t have the time.

I was also a comic nut for a while – Batman mostly (the thinking mans comic hero) and also Spiderman, not sure why, I just kind of liked it. In contrast to you I bought mainly for the art and collected a few just because they were beautifully rendered. Hence why I bought Justice League for a while and 2000AD. I hated 2000AD but loved the artwork!

I am rather glad that it’s not just me that’s weird.

I’ve still only read the one Brookmyre book – the rubber ducks one – and I own one more. Because I insist that I read the in order, there’s a good chance that it will never get on to my ‘official’ to be read pile.

It’s a hard life.

Your reading habits are so like mine it’s scary. I have a massive pile of books that I am grinding through and have just started a Walter Moseley which I have been putting off for a while.

Glad to know you like Brookmeyer – who wouldn’t?

That’s the beauty of blogging, you can stumble across a post from nearly 3 years ago and it can still be relevant to you! Hope you are inspired to blog again!

I think my tbr pile is about 110-130, but I can’t bring myself to actually count them! I don’t think I’d be able to sleep at night if I got as high as 200 haha. I can only manage about a book a week but at least I don’t top up the books I own with ones from the library!
