More items about books to read later

I did this once before, and it seems to be a good way to keep track of books I may want to read as well as some of the places that have discussed those books. I am a reader who likes keeping lists of items to read, so here we go then.

• Here is a "Batman Variety Pack" from the folks at Guys Lit Wire. From their lists, I already read Batman: The Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul, which I liked. That book is listed on my GoodReads list. Look under the tag for graphic novels and comics once you get there. Also from the same folks, a post about the Best American Comics series. I have seen the titles, but I never gave them much thought; after all, I already read an annual series for science fiction, and I read comics as I get to them. I may go take a second look now; it could be a good way to get a sampling of what is out there in American comics.
  
• From the Literary Saloon, an announcement that El pais de la canela won the Premio Internacional Romulo Gallegos. This is a reminder for me to keep up with my Latin American reading. The blog notes that the novel is not available in English yet, but for me, that is not a problem. Spanish is just fine.
  
• From LISNews, a couple of links about Street Lit. This is not a genre that is in much demand here, but I may need to take a look at one item at least sometime to keep my "RA cred," so to speak.
  
• From Likely Stories, a post about "Webcomics and the art of avoiding work," which looks at some of the nominees for the Eisner Award in 2009.
  
• From Blogging for a Good Book, there is a suggestion to read Touch Me, I'm Sick: The 52 Creepiest Love Songs You've Ever Heard. Just for the title alone I knew I had to add it to my reading list.
  
• Seattle Dan, doing a guest posting at Jesus' General, has some current affairs suggestions under that blog's Department of Book Reports. And here is Seattle Dan's book report on Gods, Gachupines, and Gringos.
  
• And here are the Dirty Librarian's book reads for April 2009. I always like to see what this blogger has read in terms of graphic novels and manga. Here are her March 09 readings.
  
• Not books, but this is still stuff I want to get around to reading. The Eclectic Librarian offers a list of "Webcomics I think you should be reading." From the list, I already read Questionable Content, Unshelved, and Shelf Check.
  
• From Feminist SF--The Blog, some notes on items out of Fantasy Magazine, including some Latin American speculative fiction.
