Reading: July, 2011

I've been going to the gym again this month, making it almost every other day... which sucks up a pretty big chunk of time. That's why I haven't had as much time to read this month.

But I did finish a couple books, as well as a couple audiobooks. Treadmill time is good for something besides toning my thighs. I also went through some graphic novels. Citizen Rex is very weird. I'm not sure I get the point, but like anything from the Hernandez Brothers, it's absolutely worth the time & effort.

Fuzzy Ergo Sum I wrote about when I was reading it. Ancestors of Avalon, it turns out, is a sequel to The Fall of Atlantis. It was kind of weird reading the one while simultaneously listening to the sequel. It spoiled the ending of Atlantis -- but then it's written in a kind of oblique style that left me grateful the sequel explained what actually happened in concrete terms.

Have you ever listened to radio theater? If you like sci-fi and mystery and so forth, I highly recommend The CBS Radio Mystery Theater. The episodes are usually only 45 mins to an hour at the most. Several still have the vintage commercials from when they ran between 1974 and 1982. You can download over 30 something episodes for free at their site. I grew up listening to it and still listen to it. Givem a look-see!
