Oh and I've heard good things about Mouse Guard, mermaid. I keep meaning to read it when I go up to Montreal and can read oodles of BDs in the biblio for free. ( :

If anyone's looking for comics, I like what I've read of L'Incal, partially in French and partially en anglais, so I haven't got it all straight. I used to like Transmetropolitan, but now it's an immature wannabe compared to L'Incal. Moebius = made of win.

heh, and thinking scene, a comic I've since lost but loved when I read it was Zero Girl, in which squares and cubes were evil, and wanted to kill the main character, and circles and spheres were good.

Moebius <3 <3 <3

You really should read Mouse Guard, it is brilliant.

Man I love L'Incal. Just couldn't understand some it!
I'm gonna have to go dig out all my 2000AD now.

metoikos, l'incal and transmetropolitan are completely different, I just can't understand how one can even begin to compare them. Me? I just love them both (possibly transmetropolitan more since Warren Ellis >>>>>>> Jodorowsky)

Oh yes, topic.

Last comic series I read was Trondheim/Sfar's Dungeon. Even though I must be missing on a ton of irony since I haven't read any d&d stuff, I loved it for what it is.

last books I read:

1984 (in German)
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (in English)

both classics , but I read them for the first time, both recommendable

reading atm: second part of the DUNE series by Frank Herbert, Dune Messiah , german title "Der Herr des Wüstenplanten", recommendable

The last book I read in German was Der Satanarchäolügenialkohöllische Wunsch Punsch by Michael Ende. All his books are great, but I especially like the Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer books and Momo.

if i started to read books, i'd have less time for pouet? NO THX!

There is a Crysis-themed book? And it's NOT shit? WHAT?!?

skyrunner: I didn't much like the hitchhiker books. The dune books on the other hand got better later in the series, the last is my favourite :)

I do concur - I read the Hithhikers books when I was a kid a loved them (so new & different) but I reread them a couple of years ago and they just didn't have that same magic (surprisingly I quite enjoyed "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" which I didn't really get into when it eventually came out originally). All of the Dune books I love whenever I pick them - I get immersed into the world straight away. (Apart from those abortive 1's by Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson - waste of ink & paper imo)

Having said all of that I love "Last Chance To See" and the missus always chuckles at "The Meaning of Liff" - don't you hate getting caught in a grimbuster?

re : shuffle2

Yup. Peter Watts is a kickass sf author. Even though I haven't played Crysis 2, and in fact have no intention to do so, I really enjoyed his novelization on many levels.
