On the way to London, mostly I slept. But during the trip
I read:
The Score, by Richard Stark. #5 in the series. I really liked this one, and, boy do these books read fast.
Jonah Hex: Face Full of Violence - by Palmiotti and Gray (and others)
.5 of Jonah Hex: Guns of Vengeance - by Palmiotti and Gray (and others) I left this somewhere in the flat in Kensington. Now I will have to fin another copy somewhere used or very cheap.
The first 175 pages of American Gods by Neil Gaiman. If you start reading this and think "well, gee, this is a lot like Anansi Boys..." keep reading.
I watched:
Space Battleship Yamoto - live action version. It... wasn't very good.
Jonah Hex - it also wasn't very good
3/4's of Black Swan - its good, but for a movie with so much hype, man, its about as subtle as a slap to the face. I didn't turn it off out of disgust, btw. The plane was landing.
Beverly Hills Cops - for some reason we all came back to the flat and stayed up late watching this on Sky. No idea why.
Film. Comics. Sci-Fi. Superheroes. Pulp. Noir. History. Superman. 20th Century Archaeology.
Well Anansi Boys is the sequel, of sorts, to American Gods so that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I figured that out after reading for about forty pages or so. I don't really know how I had no idea "Anansi Boys" was a sequel of sorts, but, there you are.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, at first I was thinking "Jesus, Gaiman. You're a little young to be repeating yourself this much..."
