End of the Month Roundup: June, 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.
