30. The Ultimates: Grand Theft America - Mark Millar
31. Liquor - Poppy Z. Brite
32. Prime - Poppy Z. Brite

I have to say that whilst I loved Prime, I didn't enjoy it quite as much as Liquor, mostly because it got a bit silly towards the end. I'm still going to get a copy of Soul Kitchen though so I can read the next book in the series. LOL.

So, that's my list for the year. A LOT of comics on there. I blame Greg and Dave. Hehe!

Best book was definitely We Need To Talk About Kevin, just because it packed such a powerful punch. I don't think I've ever read a book that's given me nightmares before and I certainly haven't read a book that made me leave the room because there was something on TV that reminded me of it.

I have no idea what's next as my 'to read' pile is at home. I'll be back there tonight though. I have a feeling it's one of several Nelson biographies that I bought while I was in Portsmouth last year.

A Request

Can I be a pest? Could I possibly borrow your copy of "The Odyssey"? I've been reading things with references to it and have a great desire to read it now. Found it on the web, but hate reading things off my computer screen for any length of time (makes my eyes square). Pretty please? In return I'll find you something cool in a shop called "Avenue" here.

Sure, that's no problem at all. Can you mail me your address again and I'll pop it in the post on Monday for you :)
