New book goodness
Most of my recent book order just arrived and I’m so excited - new books are better than Christmas!
I’m going to start with Understanding Comics and The Best Software Writing. My head cold won’t let me do anything harder just yet.

Donna, I’m glad it’s not just me who is excited by the thud of a book landing on your doormat.
I do think you need a “Trashy books to relax with” pile as well. I’m currently reading Moondust by Andrew Smith and Judas Unchained by Peter F Hamilton as my “relax” books.
(PS. I have got 7 of your 13 books).

They definately are the right books to start with :).
Since getting the best software writing i haven’t be able to put it down. Every essay whether you agree with them or not is though provoking, but then what would you expect when Spolsky is involoved.
Understanding Comics is fantastic too. I’m stupidly excited for you.
Happy reading.
