Top of the Pile: X-Men Blue, Superior Spider-man, Immortal Hulk

May 23, 2019 Ken Newquist Book & Print Columns, Books & Print, Top of the Pile

I’m as close to current with my comic book pull list as I’m likely to get in the modern era, having just finished X-men Blue and getting ready for the Age of X-Men alternative universe titles. Truth be told, I’d be caught up if[…]

May 19, 2019 Ken Newquist Book & Print Columns, Books & Print, Reading Lists

Memorial Day Weekend is almost upon us, so it’s time to pop open a summer shandy, power up the Kindle, and launch into Nuketown’s summer reading list. The 12th Annual summer reading list contains 19 books and 7 graphic novels. It’s[…]

Assembling Nuketown’s 2019 Summer Reading List

April 3, 2019 Ken Newquist Book & Print Columns, Books & Print, Reading Lists

It’s spring, and while others are tending to their gardens I’m thinking about my summer reading list. I don’t have a goal in mind for my 12th annual summer reading list, but I expect it to be in the 12-15[…]

Off the Bookshelf: The Prefect, Big Ships, Things from the Flood

February 6, 2019 Ken Newquist Book & Print Columns, Books & Print, Off the Bookshelf

I’m making slow progress on my Winter 2018-19 reading list, partially because I’m still working my way through Getting Things Done and mostly because I got Civilization 6 for Christmas. Nothing devours time like a Civilization game. Nothing. That said, “slow progress” isn’t “no progress”[…]

Top of the Pile: Uncanny X-Men, Spider-Verse, Darth Vader

January 30, 2019 Ken Newquist Book & Print Columns, Books & Print, Top of the Pile

My comic book pile is almost — almost — current. After a summer and fall of reading comic books almost every day I’ve caught up on everything except for X-Men Blue, a few issues of Uncanny Avengers, and the limited series X-Men Black. I credit[…]

Winter Reading List 2018-19

December 23, 2018 Ken Newquist Book & Print Columns, Books & Print, Reading Lists

Christmas Break is upon us, which means grabbing a book and reading it by the virtual fireplace (or a real fireplace if I can find one). Unlike my Summer Reading Lists, which average 14-18 books, my winter reading lists tend[…]

Top of the Pile: Cable, Kate Bishop, Renew Your Vows

October 10, 2018 Ken Newquist Books & Print, Top of the Pile

When I started my bullet journal, one of my habit tracking goals to read a comic book a day. Over the summer I stuck to that goal, reading a comic book almost every day. I made steady progress on my pile[…]

Off the Bookshelf: Early Summer 2018

July 21, 2018 Ken Newquist Book & Print Columns, Books & Print, Off the Bookshelf

My 2018 Summer Reading List is under way. It’s been a mixed bag of inspiration, drudgery, endurance, and wonder. Personal Kanban I started off with Personal Kanban (Amazon) by Jim Benson and Tonianne DeMaria Barry. It’s the first-ever non-fiction book[…]

Summer Reading List 2018

May 26, 2018 Ken Newquist Book & Print Columns, Books & Print, Reading Lists

Welcome to Nuketown’s 11th summer reading list! As expected, this summer’s list features lots of space opera and a smattering of fantasy, but it also includes the unexpected in the form of non-fiction books related to project management and self-improvement.[…]

Off the Bookshelf: Artemis, The Wrong Stars, Ready Player One

May 10, 2018 Ken Newquist Book & Print Columns, Books & Print, Off the Bookshelf

My Winter Reading List got off to a strong start in December 2017 with Artemis (Andy Weir’s follow-up The Martian) and The Wrong Stars (Tim Pratt’s tale of ancient alien artifacts). My progress was hampered by breaking my ankle, but[…]
