71. Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour by Bryan Lee O'Malley.
72. Defenders: Indefensible by Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis, and Kevin Maguire.
73. A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.
74. Fear of the Dark by Walter Mosley. The last (so far, at least) of the Fearless Jones books. I don't have a great deal to say about this one, sadly. The character of Paris Minton has seemed perhaps a bit murky from the start, but never more so than in this novel, where he's a bit all over the map. His supposed defining characteristic, his cowardice--contrasted always with his friend Fearless--doesn't really ring true here, and so I'm left trying to figure out who this guy is, a problem I never had with Easy Rawlins. Still, a disappointing Mosley book is a bit like a weak episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"; there's always something worthwhile in it. (OK, except for maybe "Spiral.") After this, Walter and I will be taking a break; I haven't exhausted his catalogue by a long shot, but I'm going to be starting on another author for a while. I'll definitely keep reading Mosley in the long run.
