After some trouble tracking down a copy (amazon couldn't get me one when I tried ordering there!) my copy of Judd Winick's The Adventures of Barry Ween Boy Genius 2.0 finally showed up yesterday. I read it in one sitting. I'm not normally a fan of comics, but the first one of these was handed to me by a friend and I'm hooked.

Later in the evening I actually read aloud Jonathan Livingston Seagull in its entirety. I really don't feel like I'm very good at reading things aloud, but I suppose it does make me slow down and pay attention to every single word. I was reminded that there are many many books I should reread, but with how many unread books I have piled into my house, I think I feel a little guilty every time I ponder rereading something. Maybe I should try for some sort of balance. Perhaps 1 reread book for each 5 new ones, or something like that. I haven't reread much the last few years whereas when I was younger I did quite regularly.
