Books, caffeine and 1,000,000 pages to read
Just in time for Día de los muertos, I have successfully finish this year’s reading of Frankenstein.
As always I find new thing, and my perspective of this 201 years old book is always fresh and exciting, that is why I keep coming back to it.
Right now I’ll work on Dragonero Vol. 19, and later in the evening, we will go and visit the traditional altars in remembrance of those who have left us.
I promise some pictures.
Off to read.

Yesterday was my favorite Mexican holiday, Dia de Muertos, The Day of the Dead.
It is a special celebration, in which, we honor our dearly departed by putting their pictures and all of the things that they loved the most.
On the University’s grounds each year, the students and faculty, put up the traditional “altares” many dedicated to famous figures of Mexican and international cultures.
A really colorful celebration celebrating the life of our loved ones.
And with this day my Monster Mash period comes to a close and of the eleven tasks, which include reading horror books and watching some classic horror movies, I only completed two, reading the first volume of Hellboy in Hell and watching the new Halloween movie, so better luck next year.
The other good thing is that I finally started reading the second volume of Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing run, just a few pages in and it is already surpassing all expectations.
For now, I’ll work on this graphic novel and try to make some headway with Gardens of the Moon, currently on page 147 of 645.
The plan is to work my way thru the main storyline of The Malazan Book of the Fallen, that is, the ten novels written by Canadian author Steven Erikson and then jump back in with the infamous Drow Drizzt Do’Urden and continue my journey in the Forgotten Realms.
Now let’s talk numbers:
Now back to it, for the night is dark and full of reading.
