Lunacy and Ctrl+Alt+Delete

I just finished one book and am in the middle of another book that I thought I'd share.

The first one is Lunacy: The Best of the Cornell Lunatic. It is a large paperback filled with selections from, as the title suggests, the Cornell Lunatic, a student paper filled with satire and comics of various topics. The humor is a bit on the blue side at times so if you're more on the conservative side I'd recommend not bothering; if, on the other hand, reading an editorial by "Clark Kent" fighting rumors being spread in the media that a recent rise in breast cancer rates (especially in the Daily Planet building for some reason) are being caused by Superman's use of X-Ray vision makes you laugh like a crazed baboon then this book may just be worth checking out.

The second book is Ctrl+Alt+Del: Volume 1: This is a Great Idea. There's a great geek web comic called Ctrl+Alt+Del that chronicles the adventures of a computer gamer, Ethan, who is a total idiot, and his roommates and his wife (now). The first volume is a collection of the earliest comics of the series and was a nice revisit of his early adventures including the psychotic break he experienced when a certain video game sequel was released and how he met his gamer-girlfriend Lilah along with a few side bits commenting on new video games as they were released, such as some of the stupidities included with the programming logic of a certain Star Wars game. The whole King of Winter-een-mas arc during a heating failure in the apartment building was a nice setup for his later reign as the head of a video game religion (not covered in this book, though...I know about it from the online comic).

If you have any interest in geek comics, check out Ctrl+Alt+Del online. If you like humor on the risque side check out Lunacy. If you're not interested in either of them...well, thanks for reading anyway.
