I have a perfect puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-dee
If you are wise, you'll listen to me
What do you get when you read comic books?
Reading your floppies or on your Nooks?
What are you at getting terribly smart?
What do you think of all that art?
I really like the look of it
Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-da
If you read comics, you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do
The Rules
Log everything you've read this year. Just edit your existing post or you (and we) will get confused trying to keep up. 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, or just write about the good stuff you've read.
