Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 1 (library Edition)

Hiromu Arakawa

See product details

Hiromu Arakawa is an outstanding author and artist, and the series is testament to that. This is just the first volume of over 15 so far, and so the art style hasn't reached its peak, but by the third or so volume, you'll really begin to see what she can do. Superb storytelling.

Makoto Raiku

A tad corny, but friendship-centric and very sweet. It's hilarious, too, with a very unique art style and some of the quirkiest characters (and villains) I've ever seen.

Knights of the Sea ~ A Grim Tale of Murder, Politics, and Spoon Addiction ~ My latest book is finally out. It's a bit hard to sum up in one line, though the sub-title gives a pretty good idea of the tone...

Goodnight Desdemona (good Morning Juliet) (play)

Ann-marie Macdonald

See product details

Constance, working at Queen's University, analyzes Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and Othello, noticing the missing Fool at the turning points of the two plays, and turning these tragedies into comedies by entering the plays. Very entertaining; I was impressed. It's a feminist text by a Canadian author.
