Jonathan Lethem: IMG Stops: On Those Things My New Novel Forgot to Be About, Maybe



For me, there's a weird, unfathomable gulf — I almost wrote gulp — between the completion of a novel and its publication. Some days this duration feels interminable, as though the book has... Continue »

davidwmack, November 1, 2009

If you like Artemis Fowl and graphic novels you will really like this. A really cool adaptation of the book into graphic novel form. The younger readers will really like it. I'm not really a big fan of graphic novels myself but, I really liked this one. Also, NEVER miss a chance to meet Eoin Colfer in person.

Mercy Thompson Homecoming by Patricia Briggs
Mercy Thompson Homecoming

davidwmack, September 9, 2009

I'm not really a graphic novel or comics person but I really loved this. Its a Mercy prequil of sorts so there is new story line and the artwork is amazing!! I think the reason I liked it so much is that the "feel" of the books and the "feel" of the graphic novel is the same. They go together perfectly. If you like Mercy you'll LOVE this!

The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
The Angel's Game

davidwmack, August 17, 2009

I would actually consider this a 6 star book. Seriously. Carlos Ruiz Zafon is truely a master writer and storyteller. He makes the city of Barcelona, the characters and the story itself come to life in a truely wonderful way. If you havent read The Shadow of the Wind, go read it now. Then read The Angels Game. (buy them together, save yourself a return trip) If you have already read The Shadow of the Wind, why are you reading this?

Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road by Neil Peart
Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road

davidwmack, July 19, 2009

This is a wonderful, VERY well written book about Neil Pearts journey through the loss of his daughter and his wife in less than a year. A literal road trip to a place of healing. You do not have to be a Rush fan or a drummer to appreciate Neils story. His story is very personal, very emotional and deeply moving. It will refresh your faith in the human spirit and encourage you to never give up even in the darkest of times. I HIGHLY recomend this book!
