Iron Dick

Just finished reading Marvel's Civil War.

The gist of it is:

All (domestic) superheroes have to be registered and paid by the US government. Some see this as an erosion of their civil liberties and increasing security at the cost of freedom. The leader of this faction is Captain America. Leader of the pro-government faction is Iron Man. Obvious analogies to current affairs.

Mark Millar, who wrote it, said he tried to make both sides as balanced as possible. Clearly (if you read it) this is shit, everyone is rooting for Cap.

Anyway, the only reason I wrote this (AFASIK I am the only comic fan among us), is to tell you all Iron Man is a dick.

That is all.

Help me book

I'll throw this one open to the floor. What books should I read? Bearing in mind that I'll read almost anything. Currently I am reading "The Raw Shark Texts" by Steven Hall, which I am enjoying. I picked it up because I liked the cover and lack of blurb (the back of the book doesn't really tell you anything about what may be inside), and then googled the author. The fact that he sited Murakami as one of his favourite writers was a good sign. He cited City of Glass by Paul Auster as his all time favorite novel (he'd also mentioned "If on a winters night a traveller" so I was really warming to the guy), so I think I'll read it.

Anyway, back on topic. What books do think I should read? I'll go off and read them and let you know. No footballers biographies please.
