    I haven't read them either. The movies were god-tier, though. Loved 'em. Eventually I'll get around to reading the books.

    Haven't read it but always I've heard good things (no brainer since it's Warren Ellis). I took a bit of a break from Super Freakonomics to scratch the comic book itch. I just read Batman: The Long Halloween, and am re-reading All-Star Superman (I'm getting the wonderfully oversized Absolute edition for Christmas as well). If I still feel the comic book itch after I finish that I plan on re-reading Y: The Last Man.
    I heard Long Halloween and Y: The Last Man were both very good, I considered picking up Y the other day but ended up not. Have you ever read Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth by Grant Morrison? It's my favourite Batman graphic novel, and probably my favourite piece of Batman media overall.

    I haven't, though I'll get it eventually. I'm a big Grant Morrison fan, but missed a lot of his DC stuff over the years (with the exception of All-Star Superman and Superman: Red Son since I'm a big Supes fan) because I mostly read Marvel.

    I can't recommend getting Y: The Last Man enough though when you can. It's easily up there as one of my favourite comic series ever, along with titles like Watchmen and Sandman.

    David Copperfield. I've tried twice before to finish it, and ended up running out of gas somewhere before halfway each time. It's been a good while since I've read a Dickens novel, but I'm rediscovering why I love his writing so much, so hopefully this time I'll make it through the whole thing.

    Just 4 u I'll try my hardest. The set of Dickens novels I've read is as follows: {A Tale of Two Cities, Hard Times, Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, Various Short Stories}, of which Hard Times is my favorite thus far. I'm really enjoying Copperfield so far though, much more than I enjoyed any of the aforementioned in their early stages with the exception of Hard Times.

    Plz excuse my abuse of set notation my mind is currently stuck in math mode.
