So, watcha' reading?

[Bogey]

I may try it again at some point. I agree with everything I read in it.

I also just finished reading a biography of animator Ub Iwerks, the man who created Mickey Mouse. I also just finished a book on artist Dave Stevens. Currently am still reading the Bible and a book about a man in England with a bus ministry that a friend from the Isle of Wight sent me.

My wife and I are both big Disney fans Mike and know of Ub's work.   In fact, I have some early clipped Mickey Mouse newspaper strips from '31 that say: by Iwerks.  What a talent!  Any chance pf getting a link to the book you read?

Sure:

I found it at Half Price Books relatively cheap. It is authorized by the Disney folks, and really seems to be a fair and balanced account of things. A great read!

Once I saw the cover I thought, "Dang, we might have that on the shelf."  No such luck.  Will put it on the wish list.  Thankee much, Mike!

     I bought the complete "Calvin and Hobbes" collection last year - all the strips collected into 3 volumes, slipcased.  Very nice.

Hear!  Hear!  My brother-in-law has that same set Jeff.  Excellent edition to any library.

I'm currently reading Vince Flynn's new book and if I may, I highly recommend Barry Eisler and Daniel Silva. Just be sure to read their books in order and believe me, you'll be hooked for life.

Wow, Mike, we have similar tastes.

I've read Danse Macabre, I just bought a paperback of Bradbury short stories, and am lucky enough to own a copy of Mel's book signed by him.

You are obviously a person of refined taste!

I've been reading MALDITO, the Barcinski/Finotti biography on José Mojica Marins. It's like a compendium of Coffinology. I love it!

Pulp reprints out the WAHZOO!  The Spider, G-8, High Adventure, the Shadow, and Doc Savage have been keeping me warm this winter.
