discountchiapet77. Hope in a Jar: The Making of America's Beauty Culture by Kathy Peiss: Really interesting book about the beauty industry in America. (could you tell from the title?) It is from the cultural and societal perspective, rather than the industrial and scientific one. It's really interesting look on why, how, and what other people think of when you wear make-up. There is also good racial commentary about how makeup/hair perceptions are different between black and white cultures.

brdgt. She's got good taste.
78. The Walking Dead: Days Gone Bye vol.1 by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore: It's starts off kind of like 28 Days later. It's about zombies running wild and the surviors trying to cope with life in the aftermath. It was a little blah, so want to read more to see if it picks up.
79. Fables: Legends in Exile by Willingham, Medina, Leialoha, and Hamilton: I really liked this one. I took tons of folklore and fairy tales literature classes in college. I loved this. It's about "fables" being in exile in the "mundane" (normal) world. It's really good and hooked me in one volume. If you know a lot about this kinda stuff you will really enjoy this.
80. Crayon Shinchan by Yoshito Usui: Manga about an ubsurdly naughty 5 year old named Shinchan and how he tortures his family and the people that he meets. This kid is Calvin on steroids! I love it.
81. The Tick: The Naked City by Ben Edlund: It was a little slow and strange. I watched it when I was little, but wanted to get into the comics now that I am older. I'm thinking about trying out another volume to give it another shot.
82. Ranma 1/2 vol. 35 by Rumiko Takahashi: More in the adventures of Ranma and his buddies.
83. Inuyasha vol.25 by Rumiko Takahashi: Inuyasha battling the Band of Seven.
