So, I started reading Ben Hur by Lew Wallace because I love the movie, however, the book is incredibly dry. It reads like a textbook, and the first 70 pages are about the nativity story which, really, is quite boring. I finally figured this out around 30 pages in and skipped ahead to where Ben Hur’s story starts.

However, I just bought The Watchmen today, the graphic novel by by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, and will probably spend the next few days reading through that. I know quite a few people who have read it who say that it’s pretty amazing, so I’m excited to read it. Also, I’ve never read a graphic novel before, so this will be a first. I’ll keep you posted.
