71. The Elephant's Secret Sense by Caitlin O'Connell.
72. Bloom County Babylon: Five Years of Basic Naughtiness by Berke Breathed.
73. Moon Called by Patricia Briggs.
74. The End of the Story: The Collected Fantasies of Clark Ashton Smith, Volume 1 by Clark Ashton Smith.
75. Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg.
76. Hmong Means Free: Life in Laos and America by Sucheng Chan.
77. Dungeon: Zenith Volume 3: Back In Style by Joann Sfar, Lewis Trondheim, and Boulet.
78. Watchmen: Absolute Edition by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons (Re-read). I had re-read my TPB of this sometime before the movie came out, so it took me a while to get to this fancy edition that janradder lent me. I have to say that reading it like this--enlarged, on the high-quality paper--is a surprisingly different experience; I picked up on background details that I had never noticed in multiple readings of this series. Reading it also made the film more disappointing in retrospect, but that's well-traveled ground at this point so I won't rehash it.
