Thanks to "our favorite reviewer" Steph who has been doing some summer reading and provided us with a bunch of reviews. We need them! Kristen
Author: Lynda Barry
Genre: Comic Books/Graphic Novels/Writer’s Block Help
Lynda Barry makes beautiful, nostalgic, almost child-like collages and comics about youth. They are at once heartbreaking and insightful while making you laugh not at Lynda Barry, but yourself. At once a self-help book for artists with writer’s block and writers with artist’s block, this graphic novel becomes a way to remember the ways of creating that many of us have forgotten along the way to be adults. There is a great quote that comes to mind for me when reading this book, and that is from artist Damien Hirst, “All children draw it is a shame they ever stop.”
This graphic novel looks like one we should buy -- almost a thousand libraries worldwide have it! Lynda Barry's work is featured in a book we own, The best American comics 2007

What's a Popular Reading Collection?
Just think of it as a getaway within the Chester Fritz Library. An Academic Library MUST support research first and foremost. However, sometimes people just need to unwind with a good read. Sometimes Oprah is talking about a book in a way that makes you want to check it out. That's what this collection is about: book club favorites, self-help, best-sellers on college campuses.
How do I get to the Popular Reading Collection?
You can go inside the "Fishbowl" and browse the shelves to your right. Or you can search the ODIN card catalog by author or title. You do need to be a UND member to check these books out.
What if you don't have what I want?
You can request it using the book suggestion form available online, or pick up a form at the library or even the UND Bookstore.
Can I write a review?
If you're a member of the UND community, absolutely! Just send us an email at librarypop@gmail.com. Anyone, though, is welcome to write a comment.
How else can I help?
