Read the Watchmen while your in a graphic novel kick.

Rorschach lives inside each one of us. Some deeper, some closer to the surface.

He's been my avatar at BGG since 2002.

Read The Watchmen a while ago. City of Thieves is great and hilariously funny in many spots.

The Watchmen is an excellent graphic novel. For my degree I had to take a Comic Literature course...that book was one of our required reading items. I hadn't read it before so I was glad I took the class. O0

Not as, cool, but close, I took a Mythology class AND a Sci-Fi class in high school. The teacher was a hippy wannabe. We didn't learn much. Invariably, someone would ask him about music or drugs and we'd spend the entire period talking about that instead.

Now I know who to blame for that Blade Runner obsession you have ;)

BanzaiCat · January 21, 2015, 11:26:43 AM

Ha...in my 12th grade English class we saw Platoon and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. 8)

Just blitzed through the first four Sven Hassel books which I bought as the set was cheap on Amazon. Couldn't put them down! Just a great WW2 yarn. Must order all the others for more Porta, Tiny the Old Man and the rest!!

Star if you have not read City of Thieves do so immediately. Same for JH. It's jewy and hilarious and takes place during the Siege of Leningrad.
