What books are you reading this week? Right now, I'm working on Bridge of Birds by Barry Hughart and Marvel Comics: The Untold Story by Sean Howe.
If you're looking for something shorter to peruse, here are some of the best things I've stumbled across on the web during the past 10 days or so. Most of them are current articles. A couple of them are great reads from the past that I came across while doing research. And one them is mostly just a collection of jaw-dropping photos. Enjoy!
