I'm still reading Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay.

When Chari lent it to me and I found out that the story was primarily about how two cousins developed a character that would become one of the bestselling comic books in the 40s and 50s, I wasn't sure if it would be able to keep my interest level very high.

I mean, come on. The last few books I've read were almost all chick lit and now, I'm about to read a book of a completely different type. I mean, yeah, I've read comic books back when I was still much younger, but I wasn't really the type who became addicted to it.

Anyway, I did start reading the book and although it has taken me a while to get to uhm, page 400, I'm glad that I decided to keep on turning the page.

The last few chapters I've read had a very pleasant surprise. Woo woo woo!

And even if that "surprise" wasn't included, I would still continue reading the book because the writing is just really, really superb.

No wonder it's Pulitzer prize winner.

Thanks Chari for introducing me to these two wonderboys.
