Read More!

What I've currently read, am reading, and what I will soon be reading.

Just finished this amazing alternate universe graphic novel. The "what if" Superman that answers the question, what if Superman had landed in a small farm town in Soviet Russia instead of America. The implications are fascinating. Anyone interested in political history should not hesitate to check this out.

Have been reading this one on and off. It's a good starting point for anyone interested in steampunk or historical fiction.

I have started this book I think 5 times now. If you can not tell from the cover, this book is thick, over 1000 pages. It is not an easy read either. The book is chock-full with historical plot, settings, both real and fictional, as well as a myriad of characters. It is very difficult to get into this book but the few times I have it's been great. This is definitely for more of an advanced reader in the steampunk, historical fiction genre.

Just ordered this the other day and am eagerly waiting to read it. Joe Louis is one of the greatest and most underrated and under-reported athletes of the last 20th century. His story is amazing and one that reflects the failings of America's recognition towards hero's such as Joe Louis. It's a shame they have not made a bio-pic that illustrates this.

What are you reading?
