Who Watches The Watchmen?
Instead of playing Warcraft this week, I picked up Alan Moore's, 'Watchmen'. I had recently read that much of the inspiration for 'Lost' came from this novel. Since the season ended, I needed something to tie me over until next season. I still can't believe I missed reading this as a kid. It came out in '86. I guess I was too enthralled with the amazing roster of films that came out that year: Short Circuit, Big Trouble In Little China, Highlander, The Golden Child and, of course, Howard The Duck. Anyway, I just finished it last night and I can honestly say it was one of the best books I have ever read. It is up there with the likes of Ulysses, Paradise Lost and the Aeneid on my list of favorites. For those of you that are into 'Lost' and need a fix to ease the pain of waiting until February, give it a read.Also here are a few Lost/Watchmen related links:
