Between big chunks of the surprisingly heavy Absolute Sandman vol. 1, I've been reading a lot of Jack London shorts. My mom always wanted me to read London growing up and I resisted it. She may be happy to hear that I'm loving these stories - especially The 1,000 Dozen, Make Westing, and A Piece of Steak. London could really write.

Just finished Hellbound Heart after putting it off for weeks. I'm going to finish The Plauge by Camus soon.

Kickass reading. A Doll's House is, in my opinion, the best volume of Sandman. It's serial killer convention encouraged me to ask a lot of questions about the phenomenon and do some of the research I did that led me to creating the Murderland world. And, as for Jack London, he's a great American writer and a great American journalist, much better with short fiction than novels. To Build a Fire is really something.

I did the same thing, not a big fan of his novels but his short stories are pretty good.

Signs and Symbols. Pretty good anthology of current and historic symbols. Ashe.
