41. Jade Tiger by Jenn Reese.
42. Norse Code by Greg van Eekhout.
43. A Peculiar Imbalance: The Fall and Rise of Racial Equality in Early Minnesota by William D. Green.
44. The Carpet Makers by Andreas Eschbach, translated by Doryl Jensen.
45. The Latehomecomer: A Hmong Family Memoir by Kao Kalia Yang.
46. Sleeper: Season One by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. One of the great things about being a houseguest is raiding your friends' libraries. I read a bunch of Christopher and Gwenda's comix, and I picked this one out first because Ted has been talking it up for a while. Things that I liked: Miss Misery is a pretty devastating character, and a great foil for Carver. I also like that Carver finds himself liking some of the bad guys he works with. Things that bugged me: the secret-council-of-monarchs-that-runs-the-entire-world. I don't know if this is a Wildside thing not created by Brubaker, but I'm tired of this trope. Still want to read the rest, so I'll have to see if I can find Season Two at the library or something.
