Nerds of the World Arise!
Pulitzer Prize winner and certified otaku geek Junot Diaz had this recommendation for the manga thriller Monster by Naoki Urasawa over on Time Magazine's Famous Authors' Guilty Pleasures
summer reading feature.

I ran out to the Borders last night and picked up the first volume and read it. I get the pleasure but don't feel the guilt. Can't quite justify buying the next 17 installments for the library so I guess I'll just have to chip away at it over the rest of the summer.
