Other Books

Things I left out of my roundup—other categories for 2006 favorites:

Other graphic novels/comics of note include books by Gabrielle Bell (Lucky) and Kevin Huizenga (Curses), the latter of which reminds me of Haruki Murakami's latest collection of stories (Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman); Renée French's The Ticking, and ongoing resuscitation projects of Tove Jansson's Moomins, E.C. Segar's Popeye, and Jules Feifferiana

On the reprint front:
Howard Who?, by Howard Waldrop (Small Beer)
0 to 9, edited by Vito Acconci and Bernadette Mayer (Ugly Duckling Presse)
Born Under Saturn, Margot and Rudolf Wittkower (New York Review Books)

And in nonfiction, two slightly more academic works:
From Sun Tzu to Xbox: War and Video Games, by Ed Halter
Another Future: Poetry and Art in a Postmodern Twilight, Alan Gilbert
