FINALLY got to finish reading through Scalped recently. Easily my favorite completed comic series ever.
I followed it from the beginning up to about issue 33, but at that point real-life circumstances prevented me from easily following it anymore, so I ended up without it for a long while.
When I found out that it had finally ended last year with issue 60, it was a wake-up call for me to finally get back to it. Christmas came along and my brother asked what I wanted... so I directed him toward all of the issues I was missing. He got as many as he could (God bless 'em), then I filled in the blanks.
Started reading again from the very beginning and finished all 60 issues in only about 3 days. Amazing experience, especially since I'd been waiting for years to see the end.
This comic was easily as good as the best shows on tv right now, and about a hundred times more badass.
Do yourself a favor and read the paperback collections if you ever get the chance. If you like inventive crime stories with deep characters, this one is amazing. Just make sure you read it in order. Wouldn't want to ruin any of the brilliant twists that happen along the way.

Louis Theroux: The Call of the Weird

Originally, I thought this was Louis revisiting his subjects from the Weird Weekends series, but it actually follows his other docs more so.

It's a very interesting read when you think back to people he's met who've claimed to of killed aliens, uprooted to the mountains and declared independence from the US and a get-rich-quick schemer who gave seminars. Whatever you thought of them at the time, I always wondered how people like this actually lived their lives, and reading this I found out. Most people featured have given up their beliefs altogether, served prison time, changed identities or in case of the schemer, been involved heavily in litigation from disgruntled clients :lol:

I like Theroux's stuff, and that is one book that I've yet to pick up. Might finally get around to it now that it's been brought to my attention.

But right after I finish "My Life", which is a long interview with Fidel Castro by Ignacio Ramone, then edited and expanded by Castro himself. It's an interesting book, but as much as I like Castro, I can't help but feel I should read some more objective literature simultaneiously to balance some of his views, even if I tend to agree with him.
On a related note, I ought to read the Communist manifesto again. I got a Guy Debord book called "Society of the Spectacle", but I need to go back through some of Marx's works to "get" it more.

*bumps the hell out of the topic*

Summer brake, I finally have the chance to read again. Trying to finish both these books before the end of the month.

And I was reading this:

But I lost interest in the book. The book was selling for $400+ on Amazon, but I got it for $30.00. I'm gonna try to get $150 out of it. I have no idea why it was going for $400+. :mad:

The Book of Enoch: http://www.ancienttexts.org/library/eth ... index.html

Wiki wrote:The Book of Enoch (also 1 Enoch[1]) is an ancient Jewish religious work, traditionally ascribed to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. It is not part of the biblical canon as used by Jews, apart from Beta Israel. It is regarded as canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, but no other Christian group.
