Yeah, I have reread the Sherlock Holmes series several times. When I lived in Southampton, I found compendium works for a couple of quid each and they are still on my book shelf now. It was interesting, after the first couple of books, I could usually work out what was going on and who the villain was, long before Holmes let the cat out of the bag.

Red Hood: The Lost Days (Batman) was awesome

I think some Robocop might be next, alongside gamesTM...

Aliens Omnibus - No wasted panels, everything's tight so far

Oh, and an older copy of gamesTM that was trying to justify MS's used games position etc along the lines of 'all the petitions and hashtags won't make a difference'

A book on the California prison system, or at least one guy's experience of it... gamesTM.... Aliens Omnibus... and a few Kindle docs.

Mark Kermode's The Good, The Bad, and the Multiplex - The chapters are basically extended articles on today's industry from actually visiting the cinema itself to the budgets of the films. He has to pad this out with anecdotes of course, and they don't always work... I don't mind it since I'm interested in the behind the scenes stuff, but even fans of Kermode will struggle to care I reckon

Anyway, you can rattle through it due to the nature of it.

A fantastic comic called Red Team, about cops who use their skills to become a self-appointed, murderous vigilante team. Now if only the producers of it would get their bloody fingers out

Also read a bunch of Punisher one-shots (no pun intended).

Just read :
Sherlock Holmes: The Army of Doctor Moreau by Guy Adams,
The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Breath of God also by Guy Adams,
The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Titanic Tragedy by Wlliam Seil,
The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Scroll of the Dead by David Davies.

All were fast-paced enjoyable stories with perhaps Breath of God being the best. Sherlock Holmes meets Aleister Crowley!

The bleach and full metal alchemist manga books I've just ordered

Jim Gaffigan's Dad Is Fat - it's basically his thoughts on parenting so far, though somehow it's readable, possibly cos the 'chapters' are so short

That Mark Kermode book by the way really is only for people who are interested in every aspect of cinema; we're talking about the film in the camera and cultural differences between American remakes here.

The first Crow novel has arrived, so it's next after Dad Is Fat. Also have to read the leaflet they give with the collectible Batman car

The Crow: Quoth the Crow - I don't mind it so far, but it's incredibly heavy on the references. When you're getting characters' thoughts it's always, 'like something from a Parker novel' or a film, while the settings are described in ridiculous levels of name-dropping, bands, authors, TV shows... Oh, and non-Poe fans need not apply.

I can read it, but I suspect I'd be in a minority even for fans of the film, or the girls who enjoy the gore/'everlasting love' angle

Currently reading Pete Townshend's "autobiography" Who Am I. The man is both a musical genius and completely bonkers.

I read that recently. Good book, much like the Steve Jobs biog'. For the record, these are the two books I use to demonstrate why I "need" such a big phone.

Really overcooked this, you've got a 25 year old hottie who calls her much older husband 'dear', and he's one of these people who says things like 'splendid!' in all seriousness... Also, this being a Crow book, the death scenes are short in text terms. I'm hoping the next book's a bit better.

Curious one, isn't it?
