Bailed out on this one about a quarter of the way through. Sounded promising but was very slow moving.

Just finished a book called "Masters of the Comic Book Art Revealed!" -- a collection of essays about the life and careers of such masters as Stan Lee, Will Eisner, etc. Pretty cool stuff.

How is it so far?

Eh, a little boring. Right now, he's just giving some background when he was a Jewish kid growing up in 1950's-era Yonkers. The Aerosmith years are still a few chapters away I think.

I have to be honest I looked forward to reading it, but after I finished it I felt Kramer was a whiney bastard and felt the book was a bit dull.

I'm trying to look past that part, but yea, after reading the intro and first chapter, I kinda felt the same way. "Wahhhhhh I'm in the biggest rock band in the world, but daddy doesn't love me and I'm sad". Let's move on Joey.

I'm a cynical, heartless bas*ard.

Stephen Clark - La Merde

Just finished last night Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil

so far thats 4 books for me read this year

Where do I start, I am currently reading over my manuscript which I am writing called GAME OVER (this is named for the Ultimatum song but it was going to be called SINNERS DEADLINE. Hey UltMetal -- you got a preview of this particular one. I should have warned you that the novella has very HARD swearing.)

Then I am thumbing through my magazine where I am reading a story by Jeffery Scott Simms and an entry by Daniel Willow.

I recently picked up Mancow Muller's Dad, Dames, Demons and A Dwarf then Bruce Dickinson's Crowley. Lately I've been trying to stock the magazine up so I can do a few signings.

Went to the library with the kids this morning and picked up Stephen King's latest, "Under the Dome." Looks like a beast (1000+ pages)!

Tried to find Legs McNeil's "Please Kill Me: An Oral History of Punk" because it was listed in the library's computer, but I couldn't find it and neither could three librarians who basically turned the place upside down looking for it for me. I told'em to give me a call if it turns up.

How are Stephen King's recent books?

I used to read his stuff all the time when I was a teen.

I've not read anything post 80s though.

Just finished:

King Of Foxes by Raymond E Feist

And about to start:

Exile's Return by Raymond E Feist

I'm just getting back into his stuff myself. I kinda burned myself out on King by the early 90s so I now have a whole mess o' books to catch up. I read "Cell" recently (which came out a couple of years ago) and thought it was great. That was the first King I'd read in a number of years.
