So, the problem with the whole sleeping until 3 thing is that I'm up way late. What a surprise.

We got the $300 shipment of graphic novels from the friend of shadesong's from whom we'd been ordering until he became just too unreliable. There was only $240 worth of stuff there, and that's based on cover price (and we were supposedly getting stuff at cost). So, neither of us are happy about that (and yes, it's who you think it is, darkmattr).

On the plus side, I've had reading material tonight.

So far, I've read the fourth Kabuki volume, Ennis and Winslade's Goddess, Ellis's Atmospheres, the P. Craig Russell adaptation of Murder Mysteries, and the first volume of Charm School. I'm feeling tired enough now that I'm going to shut down the Mac and read the first collection of the Bruce Jones run on Hulk, then hit the sack.

Interesting, if much too short, essay by China Mieville on the whole fantasy genre at Borders. I'd like to see it expanded a bit, as I agree with much of what he says (I certainly share his distaste for Tolkein, if not as much for Lewis), but I'd like him to talk more about the current and future state of the genre. But it's a good start.

Neil Gaiman, criminal mastermind?

American Gods may have inspired a con artist in Canada. Bet this also leads to better Canadian sales of the book, as the police buy every copy. :-)

One last note before bed. I finally read the first graphic novel of Boneyard. Damn, that's a fun book. Highly recommended.
