This was as thrilling as a book about 250 year old events can be! All the letters and diary content really added to the historical narrative.

This was hilarious and I want a million volumes of it.

Possibly, I even regret, myself, that I have given so few slaps in the face during my life.

3 stars alone for this gem of a sentence.

Really fascinating comic about a near future where online privacy has dissolved such that the internet no longer exists. The writing is great as well as the art. The color palette in particular is really terrific.


This was a really cool sci-fi novel from the 1950s about the collapse of society after (virtually) everyone is blinded by a comet. The blindness is just the first bit of bad news, there are also CARNIVOROUS, SLAPPING PLANTS.

It's so great.


Might be my favorite volume yet! Mini-golf _and_ wrestling!!!

This is very Little Women-esque. Quick read, kind of short on plot and meanders, but it is written as a journal and life doesn't always make much sense in a linear way.

I really enjoyed the first half of this book. It delves into neurodevelopment and neurochemistry in fascinating, readable ways. Unfortunately (for this reader), the 2nd half of the book is something akin to a treatise on criminal law for the neurologically impaired. That's a worthy subject, it's just not really what I expected to be reading and it was a marked difference from the first half of the book. My interest really waned.

Loved this. It is very hard to describe, other than Deitchian. Half old Hollywood, half Buddist yarn. I actually got a bit of a Once Upon a Time in Hollywood vibe from it!
