Fall reading roundup

It's that time of year again! The air is getting crisper. Butternut squash is at the farmer's market. I love this season.

And thus a new batch of books for me to focus on.



I'm a bit behind the times with 'Preacher,' which ended its run in 2000. A dark satiric story about a preacher who becomes possessed by the spawn of an angel and demon, and is in search of God to give him a piece of his mind.

I'm also a bit behind with reading 'Emily the Strange' too. Picked this copy up at Comic Con this year, where I saw that this publisher doesn't make its money from the books, but from all the merchandise. Bookbags, purses, tees, hair doo-dads - any accessory you can think of.

Another book I picked up a Comic Con, 'The New Dead,' is a collection of zombie short stories by popular zombie authors, like Max Brooks (who autographed mine). I'm looking forward to diving in to this one, just in time for Halloween.
