You too! Glad you accepted the random stranger friending thing. I found you through stalking fans of Craig Thompson's Blankets, one of my favorite favorite books ever. And apparently you are also a Tom Waits fan, which just solidifies your good taste.

I found you through the graphic novels community. Your recommendations in the 'Best 3 Graphic Novels Ever' thread were pretty offbeat and interesting. I am just getting into the genre and I find that there is no shortage of good books to read. The first GN that I read was Moore's 'Watchmen' and that had me hooked (naturally). Any recommendations that you may have are welcome. I plan to keep visiting your shelf once-in-a-while to scout for interesting GN reads.

I am from India and GNs are pretty hard to come by here. But I can always order a book online if i am convinced that it is worth it. I plan to read Burns' Black Hole next. Keep in touch!

Hey, thank you. Been getting healthy and fit.

You have a lot of books on your book shelf, you've read them all?

I have allot of books on my shelf though I've barely read any of them, allot of them are only half read or partly read through. Ill start posting the ones I've completed.

Finally joined up. This is terrible, I can imagine already how much time I'll spend here. May I suggest "The Fratricides" by Nikos Kazantzakis?

Meh, don't worry about that; I don't just slavishly follow your recommendations, y'know. If you're remarking on a genre standard without knowing it I usually just let it lie. Though even then, sometimes I get a better idea of how to represent it.

Joe, how do the books come up with cover and everything? How do I make my book list show up with covers
