What Did We Read Last Week? (2.0)
July 13, 2010 | Alan H.
I will now interview myself to explain why this wasn't posted on Monday!
AH: Why wasn't this posted on Monday?
AH: For the last week and a bit I've been on vacation in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
AH: Did you have a good time?
AH: Yes! I went to my cousin's wedding and received roughly 10,000 mosquito bites.
AH: Read anything good while you were there?
AH: Why yes--here it is in convenient point form!
- Read a couple of collected volumes of "The Incredible Hercules". We don't have this Marvel series in our collection unfortunately, but it's a fun mix of superheroics and ancient mythology, starring the Marvel version of Hercules (the one in the Avengers) and his teenage sidekick Amadeus Cho (the 7th-smarted person in the world).
- Spent some time on the plane reading The Terror by Dan Simmons, a historical novel with horror elements based on the lost Franklin expedition. A very unusual novel--kind of historical fictions meets Alien.
- I also did a bunch of work-related reading around exciting topics like business analysis techniques and software project management! I know teens are crazy for that sort of thing.
What did the rest of you read last week? Good, bad, let us know!
