The Incal: The Epic Journey, by Alejandro Jodorowsky, Moebius, et al
This was just as gloriously weird as the first one but not quite as compelling. Which means the irritating bits were also louder. Still it was fun.

Forty-One False Starts, by Janet Malcolm
Malcolm is such an excellent writer that she could write about just about anything and I would enjoy it. This collection being about mostly about arts and letters was just icing on the cake.

When Kambia Elaine Flew in from Neptune, by Lori Aurelia Williams
This was stressful to read (personal issues for me with things that happened), but moving, thoughtful, and well-characterized as well. I'll definitely be reading the sequel.

Best American Infographics 2013, edited by Gareth Cook
The best of these were SO NIFTY to look at, but a lot of them made me say "really??? this is the best that's out there???" It made me feel like a crotchety oldster.

The Complete Father Brown, by G.K. Chesterton
Reading 19th or early 20th-century classics is sometimes an exercise for me in remembering that even kind, decent, perceptive, insightful people in those times were often also sexist, racist, classist, homophobic jerks. Sometimes that happens just once or twice in such a book, and sometimes, like this time, it happens over and over. Sigh. I really loved some of these stories, and I really found some of them off-putting. Sometimes the same stories.

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, by Rachel Joyce
This was quite fun and full of lovely or heartwarming bits. Fair warning, I read it because I thought it would be light and cheery when I was recovering from news of someone's suicide and you know what? IT IS A BAD CHOICE FOR THAT. But it was fun.

The Penelopiad, by Margaret Atwood
Rich and layered but also spare and elegant. <3.

The ACB with Honora Lee, by Kate De Goldi
A charming, quirky kids' story with diverse characters and strong relationships. I dug it.
