You hear some pretty bizarre things when you work in a bookstore. Some of those things make sense... but generally they don't. For example, one of my co-workers was ringing a father and daughter out, back in our music and DVD department. They were picking up the special 3-disk edition of The Hulk (which I have not seen yet, so I have no opinion on at the moment) and while he was ringing them out the father asked his daughter why she wasn't getting Iron Man today. Her response is... "because it sucked" !?!?!?! WTF? It is still very hard for me to believe that there are people out there that didn't enjoy this movie! My co-worker said it took every ounce of control to not reach across the counter and smack her. :) For better bookstore stories check out http://boothandnoble.blogspot.com. I am really amazed when people tell me they don't love this movie! What is not to love? It shames me to admit that my parents are these people! My mom insists it must be lame because she fell asleep while watching (which she does with almost every movie) and my dad didn't like it because the fact that the arch reactor was necessary for the bad guys suit when it was originally to keep shrapnel away from Tony's heart in the first place and yadda, yadda, yadda.
On another note. I have one more graphic novel under my belt. The Good Neighbors by Holly Black. She is well know for her novels... The Spiderwick Series, Tithe, Valiant and Ironside. I must say I have not been disappointed with any graphic novel I've read thus far. And Holly Black never disappoints. I highly recommend her novels too. All her books (including the graphic novel) can be found in the teen or juvie section of any bookstore which makes them very quick but satisfying reads. It's amazing to have a visual idea of whats going on inside her head now. I loved it!!!
I love that so many new authors are branching out into the graphic novel world. It makes it a whole lot easier for a newb like me to branch out into graphic novels.
Some other ones that have caught my eye include The Curious Case of Benjamin Button... Nevermore , which is an awesome collection of Edgar Allan Poe short stories adapted into a graphic novel... and so many more! It's amazing what you find when you work in a bookstore. And always keep me posted with your ideas on what I should read next. :)
