In the spirit of full disclosure (and this blog was started as a place to record everything that I read) I must mention  The Authoritative Calvin and Hobbes-A Calvin and Hobbes Treasury by Bill Watterson.

I checked this book out from the library for my husband who does computer animation, then I proceeded to read the entire thing myself. It has been so many years since I’ve read Calvin and Hobbes, I’d forgotten how funny it is. I now have a child Calvin’s age (although not quite as precocious) whose constant companion is our cat, and I can relate so much more to the parents than I could before, so I found this book hilarious.

Calvin is so smart and imaginative. Watterson’s comics seemed just as fresh to me as they did years ago. If you’re looking for a really good laugh, you’ll find it here.
