Still been reading alot of graphic novels from the library. I have picked up alot of the Blackest Night series of books. Recently read Green Arrow/Black Canary - A League of Their Own.
Green Arrow/Black Canary - Enimies List.
Green Lantern - Passing the Torch. This one was very good.
Green Lantern - Tales of the Green Lantern Corps Vol. 2. A reprint of some 1980's Corps stories.
Reading Revenge Of the Green Lanterns now. I'm trying to read the Geoff Johns graphic Novels in order. And right now I have most of them here from the library.

Diving headlong into a Storm of Swords after finishing Clash of Kings earlier this evening.  Maybe it's the lateness of the hour but I was just now almost moved to tears by...

[spoiler]The scene where Sansa meets with the Queen of Thorns for the first time.  The devastating sadness of Sansa's predicament just hasn't let up.  GRRM has just masterfully made me fall in love with these characters.  Almost 1am and I can't stop reading.  Got to get to Arya's next chapter...  [/spoiler]

I've been geeking out over this free PDF download for the last couple days.  :jawdrop

Air Force UAVs - The Secret History
By Thomas P. Ehrhard.

http://www.afa.org/mitchell/reports/MS_UAV_0710.pdf

It's a candid look at the feudal system and the technology in development.

finished I, Q and Q-in-law. I, Q was great! i highly suggest reading it to anyone who loves weird star trek books. :D

Q-in-law was still good, but not as good as I, Q.

Very excellent books. You should read Q Squared if you haven't yet. Peter David wrote and it involves Trelane from TOS!

Just finished Danerys' chapter where...

[spoiler]she acquires her army of unsullied. What a great scene with her and Ser Jorah the night before.  So far Storm is the best of the series.[/spoiler]

Finally digging into "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo."

http://www.amazon.com/Girl-Dragon-Tattoo-Stieg-Larsson/dp/0307454541/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1310319379&sr=1-1

Awesome book, definitely some "adult" content in there. I have to get on to the followup books.

Hey!

I'm watching the first movie right now. Wow! I have all three on DVD. I've also read the books. They do tend to get a bit wordy at times but in between the chapters is some interesting information. There are rumors that Stieg Larsson worked on a 4th book. The original movies are pretty good. I know that Hollywood is remaking them. I wonder how they will turn out. I can definitely relate to Lisbeth.

I got this tattoo when I turned 30. I got it before I found out about the book. Thought that was pretty cool!

Very personal reason for getting the dragon. It reminds me of the Anime called Taro the Dragon Boy. It's a great story about this boy who goes in search of his mother.
