My Descent Into Death

This was about a man's near death experience (NDE - I didn't know they had their own acronyms). It was definitely interesting, and like many people that had NDEs had a life changing experience. It was a unique view on what the after life would be like. Though as my good friend Kathy said about it - there is only so many times you can say God is love in one book. I attended a book club where a doctor that knows the author attended, and that was the best part. I had no idea NDEs were so widespread and some of the things that he said about them made me want to learn more. It's fascinating.

The Watchmen

I haven't read a comic in a long time, it was like picking up an old friend....mostly. Just a more mature, more graphic old friend. The word graphic has many connotations, and this filled them all. But I loved it. It is a little dark, but remarkable - innovative and I loved the story and characters. It was not at all what I expected, but I'm very glad to have read it. I'm also frankly very skeptical of the movie - I have no idea how they are going to do it.
