A definitely terrific read! Extremely short, but good nonetheless and nothing short of inspirational.

Paulo Coelho's themes are a recurrent one, and for that reason, the ending of this novel seemed a bit predictable. But it is riddled with some every insightful anecdotes and some powerful realizations.

The next book on the list:

The Code Book

Nearing the end of this, and for a book that's largely about math, it manages to be pretty engrossing. It's basically a rundown of the history of cryptography, and the author weaves technical explanations in with dramatic historical events remarkably well. Really gives you a feel for how much of history has hinged on a cipher.

Very light read, she speaks well to my inner female. Also have mad love for Italian history, so it's like a buy one get one free deal for me.

Spiderman : Blue, you complete me. Yet another love story, although I feel the art's not on par with the more expressionistic Hulk : Gray.

it was a toss-up between this and Batman & Robin : Reborn, both following from the events in Final Crisis, decided to go with this as this is Barry Allen (Silver Age Flash) and Batman is Dick Grayson, not Bruce Wayne (Bruce "died" in Final Crisis). this is a murder mystery after the resurrection of the Barry Allen Flash

still not much of a fan of Ethan Scriver's art but he did well here

the final chapter in the Batman : Long Halloween and Dark Victory saga, doesn't shed much new light on either, but it's a good read nonetheless

mixture of Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol weirdness and torture porn, Duck Grayson (the 1st Robin) taking over the Batman mantle with Damian (Bruce Wayne's son) as Robin. not terrifically good, not awful either
