I’m a huge fan of the running app, so it made sense to get the book! I’ve only flicked through and haven’t properly read it, yet.
Nenetl of the Forgotten Spirits (vol 1 – 4) – Vera Greentea and Laura Müller
Ichiro – Ryan Inzana
Metal Made Flesh – Simeon Aston & Jeremy Biggs
Interesting collection! I’ve watched the Reluctant Fundamentalist, and a friend enjoyed reading it. On a separate note, not sure if you’ve read A Thousand Splendid Suns, but definitely one of my favorites.

I’ve yet to watch the film version but it’s on my (ever growing) watchlist, and no, haven’t read A Thousand Splendid Suns…yet. Thanks for the reminder (that’s another one on my shelf, waiting to be read).
