Read
Negotiating with the Dead, by Margaret Atwood
Runaways, Volumes One and Two, by Brian K Vaughan – Sadly, I’m not pleased with the art in the back half of Volume Two.
The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, by Chris Fuhrman

House of Leaves, by Mark Z. Danielewski – Impressive in many, many ways. I’m fairly sure the lingering questions I have are not the same as the lingering questions most people have after reading this book.
