New Comic Day (and book day)

[newnumber6]

Small week this week. This week I got:
Batgirl #49
Mystique #11
Ultimate Fantastic Four #3
All three were pretty good, probably Mystique was the best of the lot though. Ultimate Fantastic Four the worst, but that's not saying a whole lot, it was just that they were sort of going over ground everyone with the slightest comics familiarity knows (the powers), so it wasn't anything interesting.

I also picked up at various used bookstores:
A Case of Conscience, by James Blish (1959 Hugo Award Winner), and Dreamsnake, by Vonda MacIntyre (1978/79 Nebula/Hugo Award winner). Saw but didn't purchase (running low on cash) a couple other books I'll probably get in the next few weeks... another Vonda McIntyre book that won a Nebula (The Moon and the Sun), the last Sector General book in paperback, and 1633 by Eric Flint and David Weber.
And of course, if I can find them, other Hugo/Nebula winners. With these purchases, I'll only need two more books from the 50s to have every Hugo winner from the beginning to 1977, and most of the others (of 51 Hugo novel winners, I have 38). Nebulas I'm not doing quite so well on, I have 21 of 39 winners)

Finally, my usual gyro.

I really need to start reading things that aren't required for school.

Reading

I always recommend reading for pleasure if you get the chance. A lot of fun, passes the time, and, well, it a lot of fun again! ;).
So yeah, I agree, you should read things that aren't required for school. Even if it's trash. Wait, no, maybe even especially if it's trash. ;) Trash is part of a well-balanced mental diet! ;)
