either/or
Option time again. This year's Super Bowl will be between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints. Once again, the winner decides which book I'll be reading next. Here's the books: Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge and Night of the Living Rat by Doyle and Macdonald. I've never read Vernor Vinge before and the Saints have never won a Super Bowl. If they do, I'll read Rainbows End. Indy won a Super Bowl a few years ago and if they win this one it will be Manning's 2nd title and I'll read the second book in Daniel Pinkwater's Melvinge of the Megaverse series.

Neat Stuff
I first got into Peter Bagge in high school, when I was hanging out with a friend who had a copy of Neat Stuff in his car. It was all about Buddy Bradley. I read the whole thing and was quickly hooked, went out and bought all the Neat Stuff comix I could find, and later, HATE.
