It's always good to have lots to read and the time to enjoy it. Though I bought it for my wife for Mother's Day, I just finished reading
Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall:
Though not as strong as the
Neil Gaiman's Sandman books,
Fables is always an enjoyable adult read a.k.a. fairy tales for grown ups. And this collection is noteworthy for it's breathtaking art and two brilliant stories
The Fencing Lessons (which explores Prince Charming and Snow White's relationship and puts a whole new spin on the concept of The Dwarfs) and
The Runt (a tale of exactly how the Big Bad Wolf got that way including his huffing breath.)
Next up in my pile
How I Raised Myself From Failure To Success In Selling:
Actually, I have so much in my pile, I probably won't run out of new reads until next year plus my brother has some books I want to borrow. Life is good.
And if all that weren't enough, I've got enough material for issue ten of
Calliope which will have a very special theme inspired by one of the contributors.
Off to bed, lots more to say and not enough time. I just may crank out another per-zine.
