The Star Wars: Based on the original rough draft screenplay by George Lucas

I'm a fan of the series, but not a fan fan. That means it has been a while since I've seen the movie. It also means that my memory of it is sketchy. So when I was reading this, I was trying to match it up in my head with the movie, and then things kept getting further apart.

So here's the thing. It is a fun space-opera thing that has some similarities to a famous movie. It can be enjoyed as a stand-alone book. Or at least that was when I started enjoying it, right around the time I saw Han for the first time and just had to accept that some things were different.

It's worth a read.

Feynman by Ottaviani and Myrick

If you took the nonfiction collections of essays Feynman, wrote, and made a graphic novel out  of it, you get this book.

Two things though: There’s more of a narrative structure here, and there is less about drumming. I’m not sure if that hurts or helps the book,  but that we me coming in as a fan.
