POP! Reads

Alright friends and neighbors, this is how POP! Reads works. The reading list rotates between graphic novels (TPB, etc.) and prose style novels (and/or short story collections) each month.

ROTATION SCHEDULE
Here's how the rotation will look:

January - Graphic Novel
February - Prose Novel
March - GN
April - PN
May - GN
June - PN
July - GN
August -PN
September - GN
October - PN
November - GN
December - PN

SUGGESTIONS
In the suggestion thread, you post what you might like to read for the upcoming month. For example, in January you would suggest various graphic novels to read. Like so:

Fables: Animal Farm - Bill Willingham
The Sandman: Preludes and Nocturnes vol. 1 - Neil Gaiman
Kingdom Come - Mark Waid

After we get several suggestions, a poll goes up and we vote!

VOTING
A voting deadline will be announced when the poll goes up. After the deadline, VOTES WILL NO LONGER BE VALID.

DISCUSSIONS
The graphic novel discussion thread will appear in the Comics in General forum. The prose novel discussion thread will appear in the Literature forum.

HELPFUL TIPS
Please suggest stories that are collected in one volume. It makes it easier for everyone to find the book and enjoy it together.

You do not have to read the book to participate in the discussion, but hey, it helps.

If you have any questions about P!R, feel free to PM me. Of course you can refer back here at anytime as well. Unless I'm a total beast and I change everything.

i don't really have many graphic novels or tpbs so i'm not going to be very involved, sorry.

Hm-this is cool...nice thread, Flux.

@Spider_Fan: You can suggest books you do have and hope they'll be picked. If not, you can always participate in the months featuring prose novels.

Sounds fair. I'll do that for the prose novels too.

Like before, I'll support Flux with Batman: What Ever Happened to the Caped Crusader? I have the issues! Need to read them.

I'll throw in...

Wrong thread.

^ How so? I thought we suggest books, and that's what I'm doing for January by suggesting Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? & Chew: Taster's Choice.

See Posts #1 and 4 for further details.

^ So, this is an acknowledgement thread only?

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

I have the first Fables Deluxe Hardcover now (Thanks HWXS!) which includes the Animal Farm TPB, I believe, so I vote for Fables.

Soiker, what a nice homage in your Sig. First time i've seen it!

That's because it's new. I thought about it the moment I saw your sig...

I was drunk last night (still am), and it took me a second to realize what i was looking at. You made me have a "WTF" moment!

You can still join in the discussion if you like. I get tons of books/graphic novels from my local library. I've even found copies of Dracula and Frankenstein available to read online for free!

Thank you.

Ooo, Flux, could you send those to me? I lost Bram Stoker's Dracula when WUMB was killed, and I've wanted a copy of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein for the longest time. (These are printable, ya?)
