I finished The Miserable Mill (Book the Fourth in "A Series of Unfortunate Events") and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There was a lot of suspense and it kept one waiting a while to discover Count Olaf, even if one knew he was still around somewhere. I'm really happy with this series of books. ^_^

[profile] painted_wolf is borrowing Transmetropolitan from [personal profile] sk_brainstorm and has made it through four of the books so far. She was insisting I start them last night but I have so much reading to do now, between Lemony Snicket and the book my therapist asked me to read. I'm so not good at multitasking on reading. I can only read one book at a time.

The moral of 'The Three Bears,' for instance, is 'Never break into someone else's house." The moral of "Snow White" is "Never eat apples." The moral of World War One is "Never assassinate Archduke Ferdinand." - Lemony Snicket

Don't worry, as long as I get the Transmet books back before Christmas, everything will be cool. :)

Well, see, now we have to get together so I can give you more! ;) I'm almost done with Book the Eighth right now, so I could probably let you and Kathy hold on to another four.

Nice choice of quote, by the way - that's definately one of my favorites. :)

What's Transmetropolitan about?

That would be swellegant! :D And yes, I just loved that quote, though I also almost went with the one where Olaf explains why he insists on being called Shirley.

I'm not sure what Transmetropolitan is. painted_wolf, merrick42 or sk_brainstorm would have to explain that one. It's a graphic novel. That's all I know.

Imagine Hunter S. Thompson meets the world of Cyberpunk/Shadowrun with the topic of the day being an analog of the 2000 presidential election. That is Transmet.
