So, I've lagged badly in posting my 2007 books read list for a boatload of reasons, not the least of which being that I was unsure how I should "count" the many graphic novels/comic collections that I read over the year.

This my first week on the new books job and it is going well. Everyone here is incredibly nice and has been very patient with all my FNG questions.

There are 20 different versions of each ( Read more... )
