_Supergods_, Grant Morrison
_Across the Great Barrier_, Patricia Wrede
_God, No_, Penn Jilette
Grant Morrison summarizes the history of superhero comics, writes an autobiography inside that, and displays a general derision for people on the Internet who might criticize him. Contains enough superhero comic trivia to do a special edition game at WorldCon; not enough for a non-fan to get through it. Hallucinogens and syncretic ritual magic play a big role. Also contains some details on his key to understanding world cultural trends (sunspots).
Penn pens an amusing raw collection of anecdotes hung on a skeleton of atheist and libertarian propaganda. Not for the easily offended.
_Across the Great Barrier_ is a pleasant sequel to _Thirteenth Child_, a highly alternate history with magic and young adult concerns. Fragments of a multivolume plot emerge, though not too obtrusively.
