Books 97-99
97) Odd and the Frost Giants: I feel a little cheap putting this on here as it really is much more of a short story than a book, but since it was purchased as a bound single volume on it goes. Neil Gamin's little piece about Norse myth is cute and easily worth the short time it takes to read.
98) Sin City - A Dame To Kill For (reread): Having reread Big Fat Kill I was compelled to pull this off the shelf. Just as good as I remembered. For all that I prefer Dwight, Marv is pretty damn funny in this book.
99) Voyage of the Space Beagle (reread): some calculation tells me that I have owned 5 copies of this book during my life. I currently have 2, which means that when someone inevitably steals my reading copy I will have a backup. This reread brought home exactly how much of a Star Trek precursor this was, and several of the tales within can be readily repurposed to that end (although not the Scarlet Devil one, as it is now much too well known as a basis for Alien).
