I'm doing terrible about logging everything I've read this year. Either the shine's off the apple or all the craziness of the past summer really caught up to me. Either way I'm happy the rest of you still are enjoying doing this.
Rules are simple: Log everything you've read this year. Just edit your existing post or you (and we) will get confused trying to keep up. Bold the stuff you really dig. At the end of each month I'll start a new thread and you can pick a "winner" from your favorite books. You can focus on just trades (which is usually what I do), or just write about the good stuff you've read, or go completely nuts (like I plan to this year) and log EVERYTHING you read.

No Sept Winner. The Spiderman Omnibus took all month and spilled over into October.
I may be misremembering this (all the books I read tend to get jumbled together in my head) but my main issue with the book was that that author liked to occasionally throw in his opinions as facts without any clarification.
