This is one of the oldest collections I've ever kept and, as I look back at titles from more than ten years ago, I'm quite aware of the particular moods and interests I had at the time, regardless of how odd or potentially embarassing they might be. Unfortunately, this list can never be authoratitive: there was a time I didn't consider graphic novels "books", although a number of them now rank very highly in my favorites (and deserve to be reread soon). Entries in this style I particularly liked. Have some suggestions? Email morbus@disobey.com.
