maribouLa trompeta del cisne, by E.B. White (reread, different language)
My ability to read in Spanish is growing by leaps and bounds. I might be as good as an average 2nd grader:). The loveliness of the story still comes through.
(65/275)
Best American Comics 2008, edited by Lynda Barry, Jessica Abel and Matt Madden
I so dig this series. And as a bonus, Lynda Barry's introduction is just as tasty as the tastiest of the selections within. My favorite edition of BAC so far.

Best American Essays 2008, edited by Robert Atwan and Adam Gopnik
On the one hand, I enjoyed reading this. On the other hand, I did feel a couple of times like if I wanted to read the New Yorker, I would just read the damn New Yorker. (I have an entire stack of them waiting to be read, even.) Definitely more similarity of style than I am used to finding in this series.

Failure: Poems, by Philip Schultz
The first part of the book was just okay but the concluding long poem, "The Wandering Wingless," is GREAT.

The Successful Academic Librarian, by Gwen Meyer Gregory
Much usefulness, in a general ponderment sort of way.

Translation Nation, by Héctor Tobar
Fascinating collection of reportage/personal essay discussing various aspects of the Latino experience. I thought it was really well done.
