Just begun Gravity's Rainbow but it was only a small chunk last night.
Oh I started that over a year ago, but I found it tough enough that the image of the monster digesting those soldiers on the street and them enjoying it rather put me off. Good books like that can wait, anyway.
I have been reading a comic series called
Fables
I thought I was finished reading comics, but I decided to give this series a whirl, and I found myself, all of a sudden, up to date after a day-and-a-bit of doing little else. Some plot about folkloric characters seeking refuge in the real world from an evil empire. I particularly like the casting of an archetypical witch-character, named Frau Totenkinder as a protagonist. Lovely artwork as well.
I've found that by far the two strongest series I've read over the past six months were
Daredevil Vol. 2 (which is no longer good :/ ) and
Ex Machina; both of which have religious/political themes which I am never on fully comfortable terms with (however well they might have been handled), but which I have found both gripping and very beautiful at various points, and always readable (until the writer changed in Daredevil grrrr).
