The Eternal Smile: Three Stories

The Eternal Smile: Three Stories by Gene Luen Yang and Derek Kirk Kim, 170 pages.
Fun, interesting stories by one of the best authors working in graphic lit. This is an earlier work from Yang, who has since written the excellent books American Born Chinese, Boxers, and Saints.
These were, as I said, interesting stories, but writing about them now, a month after I read them, I find that I could describe any of Yang's other books better even though I read them years ago. I really like the way Kim and Yang worked together on this book.

The Pothunters


The Pothunters by P.G. Wodehouse 158 pgs.

P.G.'s first book originally published in 1902 is certainly not his best but still entertaining.  The story is set at a boys school and there is a theft of some trophies.  Lots of characters are introduced but you don't feel like you know any of them very well but what do you expect in 158 pages?
