This post represents the suggestion box for books for the group to discuss in the future. There will be a permanent link to it in the right column so that long after it sinks into the depths of the blog you can find it and add your suggestions in the comments section below.
If you're unfamiliar with the procedure, essentially we'll read anything that could be called a graphic novel or manga. I'd prefer stuff that's in print (so we can actually get hold of it), and self-contained stories are also preferable (some books are great as part of a series, but don't work as well if you only read volume 1)
All suggestions are taken on board and the final reading list is drawn by blind ballot in club meetings.
So without further hesitation - let the recommendation begin!
About Us
This is the official blog for the comic book club held in the book lounge of Waterstone's Liverpool One.
The group meet at 6pm on the third Monday of the month to discuss their thoughts and opinions on the comics selected.
It's a fun and friendly atmosphere and all are welcome: from those who have never read comic books, manga, or graphic novels before (call them what you like), to those who never read anything else.
The group, and this blog, are administered by Glyn Morgan, the Bookseller responsible for the Graphic Novels and Manga sections of the store and a big comic book fan who is currently studying for his PhD at the University of Liverpool.
If you would like to comment on any of the comics we've read, this month or in the distant past, please feel free to contribute to the comments section of the relevant posts.

A Note on the Blog
Although this blog may appear slow paced and close to death in fact the group is very much alive and now entering its second year. Most of the group discussion (not done in person in Waterstone's of Wagamama's) takes place in the Facebook group - feel free to join. In the meantime I will try to keep a copy of the reading list here for general consumption. - G
