The first one took soooooo long to get started... I really didn't get into it at all until I thought, ah what the hell - let's see what the rest of the series is like...

Woah!!! By the 3rd book, you're totally hooked!

YEAH!! I love the Phantom!
I've got a large signed, framed and numbered poster of The Ghost Who Walks on my wall. (signed by Glenn Ford).
Got over 100 comics, in good condition too.

I must admit, I havn't bought any for a while now (years), I'm looking for somewhere that would post them to me.

I started again buying them about six years ago. Only stuff I have is my t-shirt, Cap , and Boxer shorts of the Phantom.i have seen at the markets here in Canberra a guy makes clocks out of the old covers of the comic covers mounts them on a block of wood and puts a clear sealing agent over them . They look cool.

I got about 1/2 way through "Purgatory" before I decided it was too hard for me. I'll have to go back and finish it off someday.

Also just started the second volume of Peter Hamilton's Night's Dawn trilogy -- hard SF freaks should check this out if you haven't already!

Last book read was Mr. X by Peter Straub. Brilliant mix of mystery and horror, lots of Lovecraft about it.(even though I have never read any Lovecraft it's quite obvious)

Currently reading Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard. I did read it about 10 years ago. Not far in, has a great storytelling style.
