Justin has tagged me and now I've got some answerin' to do. Don't laugh, I read a lot of comics.

a book that made you cry: Kingdom Come (comic book). Yes a comic book. I don't cry easily. But KC is far and away the best comic book ever, gorgeously painted by Alex Ross and a script by Mark Waid that is more heroic than anything I've seen in popular culture. Heroism pushes my buttons, and gets me emotional when it's so rarely done right. There is a moment in issue 4 that is so heroic that it did bring me to tears. "'Then decide. Decide the world.' And when he cries...seven thunders utter their voices." Gives me chills just writing it, go check it out.

a book that scared you: The book I was reading while the first Nightmare on Elm Street played in the background. I think it was Modern Civics, couldn't sleep for a week.

a book that made you laugh: Parliament of Whores by P.J. O'Rourke

a book that disgusted you: Hoodwinked: The Documents that Reveal How Bush Sold Us a War.
