What Am I Reading?

I have been reading a lot of graphic novels lately. My interest in graphic novels was sparked by the movie, 300, which was adapted from a graphic novel by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley. I found the 300 book to be a little too dark and so never read it.

I did, however, go to my local library and found a lot of fiction/anime type stuff and next to all this dross were books like Shenzhen: A Travelogue From China, by Guy Delisle. A great and funny book. Delisle describes a Chinese man as speaking English like a Spanish cow...hilarious within the context of the book.

Yossel by Joe Kubert is a fictionalized account of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943. A great read.

I am currently reading Deogratias, by J.P. Stassen: "The 2000 winner of the Goscinny Prize for outstanding graphic novel script, this is the harrowing tale of the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda, as seen through the eyes of a boy named Deogratias." (Powell's Books).
