Books

29. Cancer Vixen: A True Story by Marisa Acocella Marchetto. (Checked out of the library.)
    
30. Marvel Adventures Spider-Man, vol. 5: Monsters on the Prowl by Peter David & Mike Norton. The Marvel Adventures books are aimed at kids, rather than the (arrested) adolescents of the main Marvel line, but kids' books can be good, and I normally enjoy David's writing. Nothing spectacular, but fun.
    
31. Naruto, vol. 10: A Splendid Ninja by Masashi Kishimoto.
    
32. Naruto, vol. 11: Impassioned Efforts by Masashi Kishimoto.
    
33. Hikaru no Go, vol. 1: Descent of the Go Master by Yumi Hotta & Takeshi Obata. If you had told me, before this manga began serialization in Shonen Jump, that I would enjoy a comic about a board game (Go), I wouldn't have believed you. But of course, the comic isn't actually about the game, but about the characters playing the game.
    
34. Flight, vol. 2 by various. (Library.)
    
35. Unshelved, vol. 1 by Bill Barnes & Gene Ambaum. A comic strip about a public library. (Library.)
    
36. Star Trek the Manga: Shinsei Shinsei by various. (Library.)
    
37. Star Trek: The Return of the Worthy by Peter David, Bill Mumy, Gordon Purcell, et al.
    
38. What Would Dewey Do?: An Unshelved Collection by Bill Barnes & Gene Ambaum. (Library.)
    
39. Read or Die, vol. 3 by Hideyuki Kurato & Shutaro Yamada. It had been long enough since I read the previous volumes that I had forgotten just how bad this is. No more. (Library.)
    
40. Zombie Powder, vol. 2: Can't Kiss the Ring (of the Dead) by Tite Kubo. Early work from the creator of Bleach.
    
41. Inverloch, vol. 2 by Sarah Ellerton. Fairly standard fantasy tropes, but pretty well executed. To read the strip online, go here. (Library.)
    
42. The Art of Fullmetal Alchemist: The Anime by various. (Library.)
    
43. Marvel Adventures The Avengers, vol. 1: Heroes Assembled by Jeff Parker & Manuel Garcia. I've been hearing good things about this series, so I thought I'd check it out. Lots of fun.
    
44. Library Mascot Cage Match: An Unshelved Collection by Bill Barnes & Gene Ambaum. (Library.)

Movies

• Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Phantom Planet
  
• Six Days, Seven Nights
  
• Raiders of the Lost Ark. We saw this at the Hollywood Theatre. It was the first time I had seen it on the big screen since it was originally released. Man, melting faces look really scary when they're 10 feet tall.
  
• Popeye. I'm not sure why, but this movie has a bad reputation. It's a lot of fun, and really captures the feel of the original comic strips. And you have to admit that Shelley Duvall is the perfect choice to play Olive Oyl.
