I've read Darwyn Cooke's adaptation so I am somewhat familiar with the story but I still wanted to read the source material.

I buy a lotta books from charity thrift stores for my high school library.
On Saturday I bought Bloomin' rainforests by Anita Ganeri. It is a 2019 printing of a book written in 2001. Trouble is it hasn't really updated any of its information since then and says the same thing word for word that it did in 2001 - "soon there may no rainforests left"
(Ever read an educational book that come off a bit shoddy?)
Also found a picture book about a Librarian in Iraq who secretly moved thousands of books from her library knowing it would be bombed soon. An inspiring story. Trouble is there was a screw up at the printers : the ending is missing and the first half of the book is repeated! I might give it to our Art department to cut up ....
Also flicked through Tom Wolfe's The Electric Kool aid Acid test. Not into trip heads but was amused by the comic references, especially towards Ditko's Dr Strange. Ken Kesey and his followers believing these artists to be high on speed when they made those comics...

Finished The Man with the Getaway Face, the second novel in Richard Stark's Parker series. A good follow-up to The Hunter but I don't think it's quite as strong. Looking forward to The Outfit.

I am still reading Star Wars Tales of The Empire. It is a fun book I just dont read normal books a lot.
I have 50 pages left. Not sure what to start after that. Another Star Wars Book or a War Hammer Fantasy book, or a Star Trek Book.This Post Contains No Artificial Intelligence. It Contains No Human Intelligence Either.
