Maus: A Survivor's Tale - Volume 1 - My Father Bleeds History by Art Spiegelman


Books Completed: 10
Date Completed: January 8, 2009
Pages: 160
Publication Date: August 12, 1986

One of the subjects that I have been known to read a lot about is the World Wars and the events that shaped them. So, a graphic novel about the events of the Holocaust is something that is going to go on my wish list automatically, and, I actually got around to reading! The review of book one is up on Historical Tapestry, so head on over there and read my thoughts! I am going to whip up the review of book two later today.

Oh, and I spent the rest of my gift card (finally). I got four more books in the Fables series. I was going to get five of them, but book seven takes 1-2 weeks to ship for some reason, so I am just going to buy a copy when I am in the city next because they actually have it in stock! I have more gift cards that I am saving for when Patricia Briggs new book comes out, so I imagine I will get a couple more books in the series then. What can I say? I'm in love!

  1. I have heard a lot about Maus. Sounds very intriguing. I am not sure I could get into a graphic novel, though. I'll be interested in hearing more from you on this one...

  2. Graphic Novels are not my usual thing, but there are a few good ones out there. If you aren't sure, there is always the library. This one won the Pulitzer, so it should be easy to track down.
