Graphic Novel: Haven't read many, I wanted to buy The Watchmen a few days ago as I'm a fan of Moore's but then I found it was ?18 which is bloody extortionate. As for my favourite, that would probably be From Hell my Alan Moore, it's scope and the picture it painted were brilliant. And there's also Superman: Red Son, it's what it would be like if Superman had crashed into the earth 8 hours later than he did and so ended up in the Ukraine as a communist. I strays dangerous near US flagwaveing but it's still pretty good.
Proper book: Don't know really, I've read lots of good books. I like 1984, A Clockwork Orange (bet you didn't see that one coming). I'm also a fan of James Clavell's I've read King Rat, which was superb, and I've in the process of reading Shogun, it's good so far and apartenly the true cleverness of the book only comes to the fore once you've made considerable progress through the book. I'll probably think of a brilliant book that I loved and forgot to put in here a bit later, but oh well, that's what I thought of at this moment. Oh, and I'm also a Discworld fan :whistle:
