READING LIST, 09/30/11- 10/03/11
9/30/11
I found Monster vol. 3 for $12 on Amazon so I snatched it up. I really enjoy this title so far -- the action and information is rapidly presented in a very consistent, fast-moving manner throughout the first two volumes (so far -- I haven't finished vol. 2 yet, but what I've read so far is amazing). I'm thinking of putting The Drifting Classroom on hold for awhile and just diving into Monster -- Classroom is starting to lag, but I still have high hopes for it. I will have to watch out for Monster on Amazon and eBay and get 'em for cheap. It's so much easier to accomplish with books than toys -- especially manga books, because most used booksellers do not sell their books at crazy aftermarket prices, often selling them for half or less of the cover price.

Fall reading list:
On my last reading list for a while, I've got MW waiting for me on my birthday <3 as well as The Drifting Classroom vol.6 and Monster vol. 3... not to mention that massive Speed Racer set I got for <$5. The presentation is really phenomenal. I'm looking forward to reading it, but from what I've read about them, they're supposed to be pretty short, basic adventure stories. It's very difficult to get any help from a review about manga on the internet. 12 year olds read the same crap adults read, and post their reviews in the same places the adults do. It's very frustrating.
