//**Inuyasha**//, volume 20 by Rumiko Takahashi (located @ 741.5 T in the East High Library Graphic Novel Collection) The book I was reading is called __Inuyasha__ and it’s volume 20. It is a manga book made by a woman called Rumiko Takahashi. She has made a number of these books and continues to do so. She has made 10 different anime and manga series. The titles are __Tencho Muyo__, __Bastard__, __Cased Closed__, __Cheeky Angel__, __Fullmetal Alchemist__, of course, I__nuyasha__, __Kekkaishi__, __MAR__, __Project Arms__, and __Video Girl Ai.__

I would recommend that you at least read a __Inuyasha__ because, well, it is funny, full of adventures, thrilled with action, and love between the characters. Every time the characters get close they just end up fighting each other. MR (12-8-08)

//**The Merchant of Venice**// by William Shakespeare, graphic novel version by Gareth Hinds (located @ 822.3 S in the East High Library Graphic Novel Collection) The merchant, Antonio gives his word to Shylock, a rich Jew, that if Shylock lends money to Antonio’s friend, Bassanio, he will repay him within a month. Shylock agrees, but adds that if the bond is not repaid, Antonio shall forfeit a pound of flesh. [Yuck!]

This graphic novel version of the Merchant of Venice is a must read for any Shakespeare fan. When reading it along with the pictures, it is almost as if you were seeing the play rather than reading the book. MTJ (8-25-08)
