More than anything, this book is essentially one long travelogue slog of slogs through desert after desert, and it NEVER got boring for that, which is an impressive feat bcs i tend to tune out of books that take that kind of approach.
Isn't this, like, 40% of Malazan? >_> -

Just read the new Lev Grossman book, Bright Sword. It's a post-Arthurian story- a young knight (kinda) with big dreams goes to Camelot to try to gain membership to the Round Table, only to find that he's just died along with most of the group, leaving the weirdos and misfits behind.
Enjoyed it a lot. It's interesting that it's so very different in tone to Magicians- while that was a tribute to Narnia, it was also heavily taking the piss in an almost Abercrombie-esque way, and featured snark by the hatful. While snark is present here, this is much more earnest, and engages much more seriously in examining the building blocks of Arthurian legend. There's a lot of thematic depth going on: it examines the tension between the British folklore/religion elements of the stories and the Christian trappings, thoughts on what being 'British' actually means for a character whose legend was created over a long time of extreme changes in Britain's makeup and who ruled it, the responsibilities of being not just a king but a legendary chosen one... while also finding time to tell the individual stories of the knights involved. And despite all that it's still also just a rolicking good adventure. -

I don't read enough consistent comic runs to say if Morrison's Batman run is the best - heck, I've only read parts of it myself- but it does contain, in Batman RIP, a pretty good candidate for the best Joker scene in history. -

Need something to continue with. Looking for an action-adventure game or a shooter. Want to avoid a 100 hour RPG right now. Suggestions welcome. I feel so out of the loop. I looked it up, took me a year to play spiderman 2 from launch, when I meant to pick it up day 1. lol
(I haven't played this one yet but it's meant to be well good)
