7.) Ghosts of Manhattan - George Mann

A pretty good, uber-violent Batman-esque vigilante story for people who don't spend a lot of time in the "Hero/Superhero/Vigilante" genre. Didn't break any new ground but it was very entertaining, and I very much so enjoyed the loose morality system the hero had. Nothing fun about handcuffs and the judicial system.

Got a Kindle Touch. I wanted to hate it and be all like "Paper rules!!" but I love it. Makes reading on the subway so much easier.

I loved Gethard's book. Do you watch his show, by any chance? Geoff Rickly was on a couple weeks ago and it was awesome to see so many things I like all in one place.

I don't have a Kindle specifically but I wholeheartedly recommend reading on an e-ink display. Super convenient and very easy on the eyes.

Ha, totally glazed over your avatar. Nice. I had no idea who Gethard was 'til a year ago, when his book was just published and I randomly decided to check it out. Then I started watching his show, so good.
