I’ve often had “Always Coming Home” by Ursula LeGuin lying on my bedside table. It’s great to dip into, savor and sample; doesn’t matter too much where you open the book, and after a while I feel like I’m revisiting a known world. The texts in it are very varied - poems, legends, diary entries...
I found it a bit boring myself, to be honest - as if they had some sort of long-term plan that they were building up to, but never revealed in the first book.
There's an interesting interview over at Goodreads with them both, which reveals a lot about their different methods.
I think the best thing you (or others with similar questions reading the thread) could do would be to sample a few comics. Talk to your friends who are into comics, or check if your local library or school has a selection to read/borrow. I find I read comics in a different way than I read books...
Recently I read “The Long Earth”, by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter. I found it an odd book, and had a hard time seeing much Pratchett influence in it. What did you think of the book? Does anyone know more about how the collaboration worked?
