I love this little graphic novel by original series Star Trek actor George Takei, who was interned as a child during World War II. Very moving and also more proof at how shitty our government has been to people of color during its history.
My Guilty Pleasure
Well the grades are finally in, so I have had the pleasure of diving into one of my favorite genres of reading: the graphic novel. I binge-read all 39 issues of The Wicked and the Divine, reread some old favorites (Watchmen and Maus), and am now diving into Y the Last Man. Because I read a lot for my work, it is hard to find the time to read for pleasure. So the best thing about reading graphic novels is that I never have to have a highlighter or a pencil to mark any quotes or passages that I might use later in my own writing. I just get to lose myself in the stories!
