12/16 On the Bookshelf . . .

While visiting my old store yesterday, Copperfield’s, to see some old friends (and delighted to discover my name lives on in perpetuity!), I finally picked up a copy of Let the Right One in by Swedish author John Adjvide Lindqvist.  The movie is supposed to be good, and the book is supposed to be fantastic.  So now that it’s staring at me on my floating “to read” bookshelf, I might start it pretty soon.  Also picked up a used copy of Peter & Max by Bill Willingham, a spin-off novel from the brilliant Fables comic book series.  And today I received a review copy of Stephen King’s The Stand, Volume 1: Captain Trips, which is the graphic adaptation of the epic book, after the success of the Dark Tower series graphic adaptation.  Read it in about half hour and thoroughly enjoyed it, so a review for that will be coming soon.
