One book I've been looking into in particular is Maus and I was wondering if any of you knowledgeable *cough cough* OOT goers have ever read it or have any opinions on it.
A few linky's for those who haven't read it. (Including myself.)

I have. It's brilliant and influential. I'm tired so I'm not going into detail. Buy it and then we'll discuss.

Both me and Jophiel have read it. It's definitely a good read, but I'd recommend reading it from a friend, then in 3-4 years you'll be like "I wanna read that again" and you'll buy it and enjoy it even more.
I strongly recommend "Maus on a motorcycle."
What's really to discuss about it? It was nice and beautiful. I also have enjoyed everything by Harvey Pekar, and that one black and white about the girl from Iran that they made a movie of but I can't remember the name right now.

Persepolis. Marianne Satrapi being interviewed is a trip. She's quite a character.

On the author, I like how she really tamed down living Iran to the point where I could relate to her, even though in reality it'd be pretty hard...
I just finished the Student for a Democratic Society book by Harvey Pekar, which was cool and all.
I really didn't enjoy his newer American Splendor because it was somewhat rehashed kinda...
Can this thread be about Harvey Pekar? I love that guy so much...
This thread was good, now it's ****. Thanks admins.
Thank God we're not talking about books in the OOT. :P

So does Maus count as science fiction or fantasy?

Well, according to some idiots in the world, it would be considered fantasy.
