I just remembered that I collected the first 7 volumes of the YuGiOh manga, where it was general games before the card game took over.
Such fun.

Reading Claws. The Wolverine and Black Cat team-up three-shot they did a while back.. And my overwhelming thought is that whoever drew Wolverine should never draw Wolverine :eyebrow

I would love to see a mini series that either remade that beginning arc of the manga or continued it into an AU Yugioh story. It would be really cool to see that DnD segment done in HD or characters flip the fuck out due to mind crush with amazing animation. Hell, working on OVAs and Miniseries and doing an ongoing series proper has proved wonders for Sunrise and the Gundam Franchise so why not here?

Just finished The Flowers of Evil volume 1. For a second time this year, a manga has blown my mind upon reading it (the previous time this year being when I read 5 Centimeters Per Second).

The story is just plain interesting, and has a good mix of right and wrong in it, and doing so in a way that challenges the reader's conscious on those issues. The characters, good God the characters. I can honestly identify with the two main ones beyond easily, especially Kasuga. He, like myself loves foreign things that people don't really get. And as for Nakamura, she's fucked up, I'm fucked up. She's probably my favorite character I've seen in manga in a long time.

I could go on and on, and I've only read the first volume!

I picked up a book about flutes and flute performance.

This isn't for fun. This is personal research.

intresting im still trying to hunt down some one playing dragon dagger tune on a actulle flute

I figured out how to do that.

awesome im not good at introments but i wish some one done a video of it

Read Volume 09 of Attack on Titan and oh boy why is it so freakin long till the end of the month? :lol

Cant wait to see what the deal with the Beast Titan is and whats up with the Titan in Connies village.

Had Goosebumps all the way through especially when they gathered up on the roof and saw all the Titans approaching even though they normally cant move after sunset

I just cant wait to read more of it and that preview at the end of the Volume was just hilarious :lol

Got back into reading again while spending so much of my life waiting for trains. On the third Dresden files book and I have to say it's my least favourite so far. I mean it's as badass and imaginative as ever, but I don't like the way this book introduces new things as if they were always there. Pretty much every chapter leaves you feeling like you skipped a book by accident.

And then there were none.

This was an okay book, I had to read it for school but we really didn't do much with it and it didn't take that long to read. Its too vague on who the killer is but I like the aspect of everyone being guilty.

Angela's Ashes.

You need to read this book. Its a good book, its about a boy named Frank MCcourt and his life as a child in Ireland, with a child-like diction, describing things in very odd ways. This book will make you laugh, feel sad for the characters, grow attached to Frank and reflect on yourself.

I just finished Marvel 1602. I liked it, but I'm disapppointed about the fact that my library doesn't have Marvel 1602: Spider-Man.

Does Front Mag count? Because Front Mag, Mel Clarke *_*

Read Sherlock Bones Vol.1.

So far it seems like a humorous little manga series. The characters are likable, the art is detailed and things are clear, though some dialogue is cut off by how the manga is laid out. There was some bad parts like the creepy scenes at the dog pound and the needless panel of Sherdog taking a dump.

So I'll give it a 3.9 out of 5.

Again has anyone heard of this series? I haven't been able to find any info on it online, not ever a TV Tropes page.

Just finished up on some of the comic books I've been behind on and some new ones. Justice League 3000 was really interesting and good. I can't say enough about how awesome all the Green Lantern books are right now, the Lantern books are so awesome.

Just got to a point in Grave Peril where Dresden, and allies you can count on one hand, have to fight their way through hordes of vampires, an ancient vampire with magic powers and save people caught in the crossfire. It was rather darn epic.

That sounds really awesome

Especially so when you see what vampires are like in the Dresden Files, and considering one ally was a Fist of God and Dresden himself was dressed in a cheap Dracula costume, fighting with a magic sword cane.

Interesting little 'Frosty the Snowman' short story by Lewis Shiner.

I read a lot of different comic books.

Grave Peril is probably the worst Dresden files book. It lacks the focus of Storm Front and the werewolves of Fool Moon but thanks to Jim Butcher's "well I have no budget as it's a book" approach to action meaning every fight is HUGE and his fun playfulness with established mythology meant the book was insane fun even in its most rubbish moments.

I'm gonna take a break from Dresden Files (I usually read a book by someone else between each of the Dresden Files as to not get burnt out) and read City of Bones. I actually thought the movie was a lot of fun, but it felt cramped with how much the film was trying to cram in, so I'm hoping the pick your own pace of a novel should allow the book to be as great as the movie almost was.

I've read Sherlock Bones Vol 2 a while back, but didn't get to writing about it until this time.

What I'm liking about this series is so far it has more variety than the Phoenix Wright manga which I've finished some time ago. Having a pervert going around pretending to be a doctor so he can take advagege of young girls makes him a sick creep, but watching Sherlock take him down was worth it. Constant murders wear you down after a while but Capcom is known for being stubborn with doing ideas over and over again. Ultra Street Fighter 4 anyone?

The mystery of how Sherlock remembers his old life despite being a dog, not to mention if his owner is indeed John Watson reborn or if Sherlock's claims are true compels me to get the next volume so I can learn the answers. If they'll be answered....

City of Bones is already drastically better than the movie. The movie had loads of action, the book even more. Really, most importantly though, is the pace. Everything in the movie happened too fast, and usually in clumps of exposition. Those clumps of exposition still (sadly) happen in the book, but less frequently and there is more space for things to play out more naturally.

ok download Toradora Light Novel fan Translated due to the fact i just finished watching the anime that adapted from these novels

I was reading Batman and Robin #0. Than I saw this:

Do you want to know what my heart is like right now? Water. It has melted to a water-like viscosity.

Read a little more of City of Bones, it is very different to the movie, and much darker.

Did anyone else find Grant Morrison's run on Action Comics confusing, or am I just stupid?

Started reading Tokyo Red Hood last night.

Its Morrison....he is always confusing as hell xD

I finished City of Bones, it's weird that it's lumped into the Twilight crowd despite being nothing like those books. Sure there is a love triangle, but it feels largely tacked on, with the main focus of the book being not romance, but very gory violence. Which is fine by me.

I'm onto the second book now, it's a lot less action packed but it's a direction continuation from the first book so it's dealing with my the fallout and so on.

So... I'm just of average intelligence? :(

It just proves you are not insane enough :lol

I think that's even more disappointing...

:p

Should read the Silmarillion.

Should know that I'm not a fan of Tolkien as a writer. He's fine as a storyteller, but I find his style boring.

Should read big, wordy, brain-stretching books in general. Or any book that falls into one or more of those categories.

After Honors English I, where those were the only kind of books I was allowed to read, I think I'll keep reading comics for a while. Nothing against brain-stretching, but I basically overdosed on them last year.

Sounds good.

Also, I just realized that I worded my last two posts in this thread as if they were posted in the "Something About the Member Above You" thread.

I read the Ace attorney manga, turnabout crossover, the outcome of the story is pretty funny. :lolol

I'm currently reading The Fault in our Stars, and for comics I'm reading Empowered #2!
