My book this week is Saga of the Swamp Thing by Alan Moore. It is a graphic novel about a scientist who turns into a, well, Swamp Thing I guess. I never read any Swamp Thing comics but I have recently become interested after happening upon a series that I didn't know existed until I saw the DVD at my local library. (Swamp Thing) So I, again, used my local library to find some graphic novels and decided to start here.
My Friday 56:
The grass outside... I lie a million silver blades threatening the moon and...and the trees! I.. am. the trees. A boa of moss hangs about my shoulders... I feel the intricate genius of the lianas... the giant, timeless wisdom of... the Redwoods?
This poor guy just wanted to make plants grow fast and now he is a plant. And can feel all the plants for miles around. Being a scientist in the comic book world is a very dangerous thing.

I'm not one for comics, but it's good see that it still has its place and are ever so popular.
Have a good weekend and happy reading!

this sounds like a fun, if a bit odd, choice. I do enjoy reading graphic novels though. My Friday quotes from the Silent Patient
