Thrill power overload
Comics. Just comics. 2000ad.
I began my #progslog in an attempt to read every copy of 2000AD which amounts to somewhere in the region of 2400 comic books given that it goes back to 1977. So far so good and I am getting through between 5 and 10 a day…
There are so many storylines that modern day films and books have taken from and as early as 1978 you can pretty much read the Plot for jurassic park in one of the strips.
Oh and a prog is just the name that was used 41 of the weekly publications.
Got through a few enjoyable things this month…
Spent more time walking that reading but got through a few things. All were very fantastic, and I think my only regret i I didn’t listen to more audio books when I walked. Seemed a bit of a missed opportunity. That said, it was mostly raining or snowing or worse for March, so there is that…
So there was one that I was reading for the 2nd time and a classic that I was reading for the 1st. A 3rd That I endured and a 4th Which I figure I ought to read given that I bought it.
Stephen King dishes out some wonderful writing advice as well as an intriguing tale of his journey to writing superstardom. I’ve read this a couple of times and I find it hugely inspirational And it really does deliver a simple message on the art of writing.
I’m not going to try and explain why To Kill a Mockingbird is so bloody good. I’m pretty certain generations of school children have analysed it to death.
What I will say is that it is an absolutely beautifully written piece of work. You really could learn so much by just reading and learning. How I have gone this long without reading it is pretty shameful to be honest…
The other 2 were just filler really but I enjoyed both to varying degrees for different reasons. None of which I can be arsed actually going into.
As you can see I’m not really doing book reviews I’m just sharing my initial thoughts on what I’ve enjoyed reading this month.
What have you been reading?
