Nice! I always thought collecting books looked like a nice hobby. While I know the intent is to read them, books make nice decorations and conversational pieces.
Off hand, I don't believe I have a favorite book. I've never been much of an avid reader. With that being said though, when I do read a book I usually really enjoy it. I feel like that's something I need to remind myself when I have reservations about starting one, lol. But with that being said, I do really enjoy comics and for the last few years I've read several collections of various series. Probably my favorite read for this year is probably Batman: Dark Victory, which is the sequel to The Long Halloween (which I read last year). While it repeats similar plot elements from the original, I still really enjoyed it. I really love Tim Sale's take on the Batman characters - every page is oozing with style.
I'm currently reading Garfield at 25: In Dogs Years I'd Be Dead. It's about the history of the franchise up until 2002. I've been really enjoying it as well, I have a lot of memories reading it as a kid. It's a nice time capsule of 2002 (with the book occasionally alluding to the Garfield movie, which wasn't out yet) and showcases a lot of the merchandise the character has recieved. I still want that silly Garfield globe for some reason, lol. Garfield's my favorite fictional character so anything featuring him is fun to me.
