Currently I've been reading as many Kelly Thompson-penned comics as I can get my hands on. I love her writing style and storytelling so much and I know I'm going to have a blast reading whatever story she's writing.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.
