Re: Book Hauls!

Really want to get Anansi Boys, but can't really afford it due to excessive DVD buyage. Though it is payday tomorrow. Let us know what you think, KO.

Re: Book Hauls!

The first two volumes of Outlanders (uneasy mix of the very serious and the very juvenile, but kind of fun and good for a first effort) and the 10-issue run of 2001 Nights (very serious and slightly less clever than it thinks it is, but interesting).
