Watchmen

When I was a young teenager I would read non stop. My mom did her best to raise us and at the time cable was a luxury. However, the library was free, and so I would check out books and read until two or three a clock in the morning. As I got older and came to my own in life reading found itself moved into lesser and lesser positions of importance. The Watchmen is the first thing I have read in a very long time that has grasped my attention utterly. I am a third of the way threw it. I know it is a graphic novel, but the story and the characters are just so compelling. The realness of it grips me and I appreciate it so much. Super heroes with problems and issues just like the rest of us. I can't wait to finish it and then appreciate it on the big screen when it comes out.
