Win! Hooray for serendipity. I started at Bruce Sterling’s and followed his link to a post on Amazon’s new Kindle (wisdom of crowds says, “Fail!” - also, read this). Speedbird - the blog with the Kindling post - looked interesting; I read a bit. Down a ways mention is made of a new League of Extraordinary Gentlemen title - The Black Dossier. Great news - and news it is. Though I love me some graphic novels, I’m out of the loop - there is much in the comic book world that I’m not particularly interested in, and I haven’t figured out where to find my kind of stuff (I read FLOG, but that’s just one - great - publisher). The only decent comic book store in the area having gone out of business and Million Year Picnic being too far to drive for one book (although I do want to get down to Cambridge soon - visit friends and the HMNH), off I go - virtually - to Amazon.

For those of you who know the League only via the movie - as is often the case - the books are far superior. I need to rent V for Vendetta and make that comparo sometime soon…
