August reading list

So, I've decided to start keeping a log of books I read. Here's the ones I can remember from August.

  • 100 Bullets: Wilt (final volume in this crime masterpiece)
  • Ultimate Iron Man II (Orson Scott Card's take on Tony Stark's early years)
  • Superman: Birthright (Waid & Yu redo the Man of Steel's origin)
  • The Best of the Spirit (collection of prime Eisner strips from the 1940s)
  • Complete Age of Apocalypse I & II (reprinting the 1990s story arc)
  • A History of God (Karen Armstrong dissects the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim conceptions of God over the last 3,000 years)
  • Daemon (Suarez's first novel, and a doozy about what happens when you die...and you are a computer genius who sets up a series of programs to help you take over the world after your death)
  • To Your Scattered Bodies Go (First book in Farmer's beloved series, which I'd never read before - good stuff)
  • The Six Directions of Space (novella about a future where Genghis Khan completed his takeover of the world)
  • DMZ: On the Ground & Body of a Journalist (what happens when the US has the second Civil War? NYC becomes ground zero again)
  • Scott Pilgrim I & II (entertaining nerdy book, soon to be a move starring Michael Cera)
  • Powers: The 25 Coolest Dead Superheroes of all Time (newest volume in Bendis & Oeming's crime/superhero drama)
  • Batman: Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? (Gaiman tackles the Bruce Wayne's final story)
  • The Wicked West (vampires + cowboys = cool)
  • Sea of Red (vampires + pirates = also cool)
Plus of course dozens of websites (Bleeding Cool, Boing Boing, Goats, New Scientist, Overcompensating, Wired, and so on), articles, and those boring old textbooks.

Any suggestions for me?
