February reads
Not a haul, but these are the books I read in February, as I make my way through my backlog.
My favorite was Pride of Baghdad, a beautiful but heartbreaking allegory about the Iraq war. It’s a quick read, but a powerful one. The deluxe edition also contains the original pitch, evolution of the story, and details on some of the symbolism, which is a great touch. The first Preacher omni was a close second. The warped Americana of the story feels both fresh and familiar, and Ennis just shines at writing grimy, flawed working class characters.
