Today I received a package containing Craig Thompson's Blankets. It's a lovely graphic novel that I've already begun to consume. The art is fantastic and the storyline and narrative voice are exactly what I was looking for in a graphic novel! Thanks also for the message -- I love getting personal recommendations from people and I'll enjoy the book even more knowing that it is your favorite.

I wish I knew your redditor name so I could stalk you online and find out what else you're reading! Thanks so much and Happy Holidays! I hope your secret santa makes you as happy as you've made me!

Edit (12/11/11): I've finished the book and it was wonderful! Gorgeous from start to finish -- some parts made me laugh out loud, others made me resonate sympathetically with the narrator, and others made me cry. This is hands-down the best graphic novel I've ever read and I'm going to be lending it out to a lot of people.
