dhampyresaWhat did you finish reading
La fabrique des corps: Des premières prothèses à l'humain augmenté by Héloïse Chochois: This was a re-read. I enjoyed it. It's very well-done, interweaving the personal journey of a man who loses his arm at the start of the book and how he adapts to life with a prosthetic and the historical journey of prosthetics as a part of medicine. I'm not sure fond of the 'future' part. Also Ambroise Paré is in it! I like Ambroise Paré.
Plutona by Jeff Lemire (scenario + backup art) and Emi Lenox (art): I picked this up at the library (so I read it in French translation) because I liked Lemire's work on Justice League Dark, way back when. This was an enjoyable read and Lenox's art is very nice, but I expected a bit more. The superheroes feel like a gimmick and not an integrated part of the story. Furthermore, I feel like there's not much there there, if you know what I mean? Do not regret reading it or borrowing it.
What are you currently reading
Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson: Haven't touched since last time. It's really dense and I don't have the barinpower in the evenings.
What are you reading next
Fuck if I know.
