End of the Month Roundup: June, 2006
Started June 2 - Finished July 1, 2006. Posted 07 August 2006
Ach! Again, I’m sitting down to write a review, and again, I discover that I need to do one of these monthly roundup things. Let’s just get this over with.
At the end of June, 2006, I...
- Read three books
- Amount spent on books read in June: $42. That Deadman collection weren’t cheap. No sir. I am planning on bringing it back to California with me, so hopefully, my old bookstore will buy it.
- Additional books bought: Two.
Which makes the 2006 total...
- 28 books read.
- Spent $153.94 on those books.
- Best book of the month: Robert Polito with his biography of pulp noir author Jim Thompson, entitled Savage Art.I wouldn’t recommend it to anybody who hasn’t read all (or in my case most of his books, but it was a good read nonetheless.
Worst book of the month:Dennis O’Neil, et al with The Deadman Collection. As if it weren’t geeky enough that I read a lot of these graphic novels, now I have to say “Worst comic ever.” Sigh. Good thing I’m as sexy as I am.
Since it’s already August, I can see on the desk in front of me how many books I finished for July (ten), so at least it’s sort of improving. And I’ll be leaving for California in four days, which means long plane rides and numerous train rides from San Francisco to San Jose. I would say this should help up the total, but I only have six books left. Good thing I plan to work a few days at the bookstore.
And Christ, now I don’t want to write another entry. Lemme make a drink first. Check back in about an hour or three.
