Bonnie | 748 comments I have trouble reading graphic novels- though I loved comics as a kid. American Gods, V for Vendetta, and The Sandman were books I really liked, though.

I was the same as a kid, Bonnie. I always had comic books to read.

Pam (bluegrasspam) | 243 comments Bill - I like the graphic novel idea! I just realized today that 4 of my 7 non-fiction reads, including Rhymes with Takei, this year were graphic novels. Enjoy!

... as I started clicking through these, I realized quickly that I have the "firsts" in many of these series; on my tbr. That's good and bad. Good; because I love a great graphic novel series; and Bad; because my tbr is ridiculous.
