The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
Michael Chabon

A friend of mine lent me this book a few months ago. Finally started reading it recently, & having finished it, I seriously suggest everyone here to read it. Awesome book.

Not gonna tell you much more just yet, except that it's got to do with two jewish comic-book creators - in the US.

If you're looking to expand your vocab, this book is highly recommended. Extremely enjoyable too, and I feel upset that it's finally over... Ever felt that way about a book before?

Been unwell, and still kinda muddy in the head, so I won't be able to type much more. Maybe a better review in a few days when I'm back on my feet again...

Ashwin got me a copy of an issue of the Escapist (the small 72 page anthology of stories of the Escapist) from the AAKC.
