I'm not a big fan of blues music myself. Too repetitive for my tastes, but Guralnick is such a great writer that I still found this book of autobiographical sketches of blues singers to be quite entertaining. 246 pages. Grade: B+

The Walking Dead, Volume 3: Safety Behind Bars

Holy geez, what an utterly engrossing but depressing read. I've always been a fan of fiction about the apocalypse and so far this series is about as good as anything else I've ever read on the subject. 136 pages. Grade: A-
