Reading Material

I've been reading The Completely MAD Don Martin and I'm really enjoying it. Yes, it's just a great big comic book, but I still like it. We didn't pay anything like the price Amazon wants for it though. We found it for about $25 at a Barnes & Noble during the holiday season.

You could get the Absolutely MAD DVD and have everything in these books though. I own the DVD, and I read the magazine on my computer from time to time. I like the big edition though, makes me feel good to have it.

Let's ask the seal how he feels...


I feel the same way about my Absolute Edition of Watchmen, my Complete Far Side and my huge Dinosaur book which I've talked about before.

I should get the big Dilbert book and we all need the Calvin and Hobbs books.

What I'm saying is that in this new world of Kindles and Nooks, the only physical book worth having is a HUGE picture book*.


*I used a Kindle recently, and I found it to be an amazingly easy to use machine. Syd's getting a Nook next month when the silly thing ships and I expect that to be very easy to use as well. I really like not having to hold the book open, I like not having to find a piece of paper to mark my place, and I liked being able to change the font size to match how tired my eyes were. We'll see how I like the Nook, but it and the Kindle have almost (but not quite) identical specs, so it will probably be the same for me.
