Today I thought I'd share some more of our 10th Anniversary Contest Results. Here are the top 10 classic books for book club (in alphabetical order):
Illustrator Jamar Nicholas talks to Calvin Reid of PW Comics Week. In the background, John Gallagher (Buzz Boy) chats with Harold Buchholz of Renaissance Press, Inc.
Whether it is better to find an existing book club that's taking new members or start a new one?
Okay - that's enough of my play on Shakespeare... but you get the idea. If you're not currently in a book club but would like to be that is probably the first question you ask. And though your gut may be telling you that you want to start a new book club, your head may be saying "No, no... too much work... too much responsibility.... I don't know how... etc."

This past weekend I got to be a part of the 2nd annual Boston Book Festival. (I was there in the wind manning a booth as part of my job for Better World Books). While there I learned about ther Once City One Story project and thought I'd share it with you.
I'm a huge fan of Walking Dead, so I'm understandably excited about the upcoming TV series on AMC. It's debuting, appropriately enough, on Halloween (if you couldn't guess by the title, it's a series about zombies). It's also a graphic and emotionally shocking series (at least in comics; I'm incredibly curious to see how closely the TV show will hew to the source material and how well that will play out with a TV audience if they do). Actor Andrew Lincoln seems like a nice choice to play the lead.
