Books?

[dhampyresa]

How many books are you usually reading?

I have a minimum of 5 on the gp at any given time: one each of fiction and nonfiction on both phone and ereader (no overlap) plus a paper book that can be either.

Any nonfiction comics you'd recommend? I haven't read much so far this year.

Oh my yes

Polar Vortex: A Family Memoir by Denise Dorrance, who flies home from the UK to take care of her now-demented mother. Graphics beautifully capture mother's fog and confusion.

The Jellyfish by Boum, who rapidly loses her sight and can't quite believe it's happening.

Ginseng Roots by Craig Thompson. Set 100 miles north of my home, Thompson's expressive brushwork captures the weirdness that East Asia prizes Wisconsin ginseng. While showing the hard work of growing up on a farm boxed in by strict fundamentalists, he explores the culture clashes between the growers, buyers, and farm labor.

Thank you! I'll see if I can access them.
