I have not had much time to advance in Watchmen recently, since I have been reading Lakota Woman for school. However, I would like to speak about another book I began reading a while ago. The book is called Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind by Shunryu Suzuki. The book is informational, and speaks about Zen practice. I am very interested in the topic of Zen, and found that we had this book lying around one day. The book may not be for everyone, seeing as it does delve a little bit into Buddhism, and uses quite complex lingo at times. Zen practice is more complicated as it sounds. Seeing as being "zen" is closely related to being at peace, it seems like such a simple concept. When digging into Buddhist meditation, a whole level of complexity is revealed. Meditating itself requires some thought, but there is thought involved in order to acheive a mind void of any thought. This book is very interesting, even though it may seem like it is talking in circles at times. It just takes a while to grasp the whole concept of zen meditation. Anyway, the book is very enjoyable, and well written despite it's slight confusion. The author is very well versed in what he is teaching to the reader. No information has been falsified for entertainment. The book is purely informative, but a good read if you are interested in exploring meditation further.

Books, of course! What else?

Alright, this is my first post for English class! I've recently been reading the graphic novel "Watchmen", which was reccommended to me by a friend. I am actually borrowing the book! I've been busy recently, so have not gotten as far as I thought I would be by now, but am really enjoying it! I really like comics, and this graphic novel is like a beautiful comic that never ends! Perfect! The plot keeps rolling, and every page turn is like a new adventure. It can be quite difficult to put down at times! The graphics are amazing, in addition to the wonderful language usage. Each image has a meaning behind it, like a movie with great cinematography. It captures the reader, just as a movie would it's audience. I will continue to read this book, and would reccommend it to anyone with an eye for comics or a heart for superheroes!!!
