the best issue (so far) for me is book 4 "Ancient History", mainly because of the Saint of Killers backstory, the art is incredible. 

have you heard of 'the boys' ?

Just finished "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein.  A great book with racing in the back ground. It's about a race car driver and the events in his life off the track, told from his dogs point of view. Very emotional and touching.

Before that I read "And Party Every Day", the inside story of Casablanca Records. It's amazing how many of todays celebrities are in some way connected to Casablanca. Christina Applegates father worked there and little Christina was running the halls at 6 years old while her dad told everyone that would listen that she would be a star someday.

Before that was "Off the Rails: On board the Crazy Train" It's Rudy Sarzo's tribute to Randy Rhoads and his recollections of life on the road with Ozzy during the Blizzard of Oz tour.

I just finished reading Michael Connelly's THE SCARECROW. Good story! It's about the intraweb and how one can steal your identity, stalk you and control your life, all through how you surf the net and what you input. Scary!

I've been reading the Jack Reacher series of novels by Lee Child. Good stuff!

Just finished his newest one, "Worth Dying For", given to me by my dad at Christmas. He also gave me "Hollywood Moon" by Joseph Wanbaugh, the third in his series of cop books that take place in the Hollywood district.

Getting ready to "Life" by Keith Richards.

A very kind person has just lent me a bunch of Viz comics, which I used to love back in the day. While all the other girls at school were reading Cosmo and Super Teeny Love Crush, I was reading dirty humour mags.   :lol:

Now all I need is to find a Halifax supplier of Private Eye (that third-rate unfunny rip-off FRANK doesn't do it for me at all.)  ;)

I am reading Primo Levi's "If Not Now, When?" about a group of Jewish Partisans during WWII hiding out in the forrests and marshes of Central and Eastern Europe fighting Nazis, Russians, Poles and anti-Semitism. It is a really good read. Although the story is harrowing there is enough action to take pull you out of the dark moments. Its fiction but based of Levi's experiences during the war. He was one of the few Jews to be liberated from Auschwitz 66 years ago yesterday.

Doom Fox and The Long White Con by Iceberg Slim. He's a pimp turned author. Any pimp worth a damn has got to be a good story teller.
