oh lol. thank you for the info.

+1 rep for you.

I think the last book I read was The Complete Sherlock Holmes. Yes, I read it cover to cover, and never got boerd.

I loved Dune, and I've read Bram Stoker's Dracula. Dracula's rather different, since it's a series of letters, journal entries, and the like. It's an astounding read, if you're up for it.

I love Isaac Asimov. He is Sci-Fi as we know it. If you haven't heard of the Three Laws of Robotics, or don't know what they are, you might want to start with (somebody correct me if I'm wrong) I, Robot.

I've got a rather large queue of books waiting to be read. They are (no particular order):
Ivanhoe
Don Quixote
Moby-Dick
What If? by Robert Cowley (This book is based on history and conjecture, such as "What if the South won the Civil War?" and other interesting questions.)
Scaramouche
and
Einstein
Benjamin Franklin (Biographies by Walter Isaacson)

Wow. I never realised how many books I hadn't read yet until I listed them...

The Alchemist (graphic novel by Paulo Coelho and Daniel Sampere) :

Andalusian shepherd boy Santiago travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried in the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles along the way. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a discovery of the treasure found within.

It was alright. The story is interesting for sure, but the pace is highly uneven and I got bored a couple times. Also, the translation seems to be approximate and simplistic.

Sanctum (graphic novel by Xavier Dorison and Christophe Bec) :

After receiving a distress call from another submarine off the coast of Syria, the crew of the U.S.S. Nebraska searches a series of massive caverns. There they discover a shipwrecked 70-year-old Soviet sub whose crew died under mysterious circumstances. While investigating the mystery of the sub's demise, the away team for the Nebraska discovers a massive underground sanctum dedicated to Môt, the ancient Ugarit god of death. As mysterious events start to occur onboard, the away team soon discovers that the sanctum was not constructed to worship Môt... it was built to imprison him. Now they must find a way to escape the death god's prison without freeing him to wreak destruction upon the world.

Very good. It's gloomy, and claustrophobic, and there is a lot of suspense. I never got bored.

I read tons of stuff. From superhero to slice of life comic books. It would take too long to list everything, but I would love to discuss it here.

I read comics when I was a kid. Mostly DC stuff, Batman and Green Lantern were my faves. I had every Batman comic from like 1985 to 1999 or something like that. I was quite proud at the time. Gave up comics in 99-2000 though, just grew up and got bored with them, plus continuity and the number of titles got stupid.

I read a lot of fiction when I was younger too, a lot of Ellis, King, Koontz and Palahniuk (sp?). Over the last 4-5 years though I kind of left that behind as well, mostly because I think other mediums are better for telling stories the way I like to experience them. I still read a TON mind you, just not fiction. I mostly read non-fiction and historical stuff. Last book I read was about spies in WW2.

I've been looking to get 2 comics lately: Deadpool and The Goon, are they worth it? and if yes does anyone knowa good starting point for Deadpool?

A good starting place for Deadpool are the Cable/Deadpool trade paperbacks. It was a well written, funny series. Marvel has been on a Deadpool kick for a while now, and the current series started to run dry on the humor, so I stopped reading them.

V for Vendetta
Preacher
Sandman
Y
Anything Garth Ennis really...

Read this even if you've seen the movie, it's different and awesome. I don't want to spoil anything but I was a bit bummed out by it, though:)

Orcs: forged for war (Stan Nicholls & Joe Flood).

Orcs: Forged for War is the first graphic novel in Stan Nicholls' beloved Orcs universe. The fantasy landscape in this world is brutal and unforgiving, and populated by a race of unlikely protagonists: the powerful and violent warriors, orcs.

Orcs: Forged for War is an original story - a new entry in this series, not an adaptation of old material. It follows a ruthless and deadly cohort of warrior orcs as they fight their way free of the dominion of an evil human enchantress. Sitting on an exhilarating peak with high fantasy on one side and the thrilling, gruesome battlefields of graphic novel classics like Frank Miller's 300 on the other, Orcs presents the world of its ogre-like protagonists with technicolor violence and moments of unexpected sympathy.

Boring the first 30 pages, but overall, I enjoyed it. I wish there were more tomes. It makes me want to read the book series.

The Boys
Transmetropolitan
The Preacher
Y The Last Man
Fables

Neil Gaiman is currently one of my favorite authors. I actually didn't like Sandman as much as his novels since I thought the art was awful (at least until some of the later volumes where it was more stylized) and didn't do his prose justice.

After reading the two english Witcher books I'll probably start into reading Perdido Street Station or more Haruki Murakami books (read Windup Bird Chronicle, have Kafka on the Shore and 1Q84, still looking for Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World) though I obviously can't comment on it yet.

Transmetropolitan is great. Magical Truthsaying Bastard Spidey is one of my favorite protagonists. Though, I can't really suggest much in the way of american comics since I'm more of a manga reader.

Love comics but doesn't have much time for buying\reading these days, I was subscribed to the X-Men and from time to time bought some other comic books like spiderman and others I would find

Some months ago I bought the whole 5 issues of Captain N: The Game Master! which I really loved as a kid (the TV show), the comics has different stories and is pretty neat, too bad they stopped at five tho there was an art of the 6th one released as a preview :)

What the hell !? I want this badly.

<span class="bold">Cornboy :</span>

Cornboy is the bizarre story of a boy who is half man/half corn. Raised without ever being allowed outside, one day he is set free in the care of a curious doctor, and begins to experience the outside world for what it really is.

Preacher
Berserk
Sandman
Hellblazer
Punisher MAX (Ennis)
Uzumaki (or pretty much anything by Junji Ito)
Akira
Dylan Dog

These are my favorites.
