And not sure what you might think but World of Quest was good as well. Coming out soon also is The Gimoles by Mike Bullock who did Lions, Tigers and Bears.Heywood Jablomiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12559128208530940675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18494089.post-47943812859924737132008-06-12T16:30:00.000-07:002008-06-12T16:30:00.000-07:00See I missed the 'graphic' part in the previous bl...See I missed the 'graphic' part in the previous blog post. As far as graphic books I think I'm going to invest in something a little easier for Lexie to read for this summer. I'm not sure yet what but what I've been buying (except for tiny titans which is a little easy) have been quite difficult. And I probably won't buy anything that she wouldn't enjoy as well.

I was trying to get into a couple of different books they kind of fell by the wayside. I have a couple I still want to TRY to get back to reading. <BR/><BR/>For summer reading though the past couple of years I've been getting back to books from my youth.

IRON MAN was just about perfect. INDY wasn't but it was a lot of fun and the anticipation made me feel like a kid again. SPEED RACER was a pleasant surprise. And now I'm really looking forward to INCREDIBLE HULK and THE DARK KNIGHT. (I know, Todd.

It's basically a Year One look at Zorro. Well, really it's more about his childhood and what leads up to him becoming Zorro. But, it's got a lot of action and is really well written. I highly recommend it. Also, that new Zorro comic Scott Weinsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10358635751902092335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18494089.post-3158251642237996352008-06-11T09:48:00.000-07:002008-06-11T09:48:00.000-07:00Hey Todd, have you read The Name of the Wind by Pa...Hey Todd, have you read <I>The Name of the Wind</I> by Patrick Rothfuss yet?
