ghostdrive1. Went to Waldenbooks and picked up the following trade paperbacks:
Fables vol. 1: Legends in Exile (Vertigo)
Maus vol. 1: A Survivor's Tale (Pantheon Books)
Kingdom Come (DC)
You can expect me to ramble over them once I finish reading. XD
2. For some reason, whenever my relatives go to hug me, some of them feel the need to tell me they're afraid they'll break me. -_-; Do I really seem that delicate?
