The bigger read Friday, 7 August 2009

Another reading campaign – but this time it’s fictional! Unshelved is a comic strip set in a library. It’s well worth checking out – why not start with this story arc from a fortnight ago about Mallville’s attempts at a “big read”?

(My favourite interaction – “Free book?” “What do you think I am, stupid?”)

Another highlight of Unshelved is the Unshelved book club – fantastic reviews of books in comic form. Here’s their review of The Gargoyle – one of the Canongate books we’ve been BookCrossing here at The Lost Book.

(A couple of the reviews our copies of The Gargoyle have received: DryKid says “I really did enjoy this book, it is a story of hope and love, life and death and it has an unusual storyline” and ResQgeek says “in spite of the rather unappealing beginning, this is actually a wonderful story.”)
