Steven Gaines: Philistines at the Hedgerow: Passion and Property in the Hamptons
Just stumbled across some Grey Gardens stuff, so I thought I'd read more about the Hamptons.
James A. Michener: Iberia
Interesting. I wonder how much of the Spanish character & culture has been changed in the 30+ years since Franco's demise?
Keith Giffen: Justice League: I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League
Amusing enough, I suppose.
Jack Kirby: Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus, Vol. 3
The best of the three volumes by far. I'm beginning to understand why people love Barda. Still overpriced, though.
Jonathan Franzen: The Corrections: A Novel
Excellent novel.
Jack Kirby: Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus, Vol. 2
Still overpriced, but here's Big Barda!
Alan Moore: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier
Moore's obsession with sex has officially gone over the top.
