By the way, the third "Amber Pre-History" by Betancourt came out. I liked it!
Oh, yeah, I read that at the bookstore. Not bad. Not Zelazny, but not bad.
Agree about the graphic novels. If I just want something easy and familiar, I grab one of my manga... I've been rereading "Fruits Basket" because I've been in a sweet-funny-story kinda mood.
