The League of Extraordinary Gentle – Men of la – Book Challenge (Vol. 1)

November 1, 2011

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Kevin O’Neill, is a wonderful graphic novel which take several famous (and not-so-famous) literary characters and mix them up together for an adventure of a lifetime. I thought it would be fun to read those classic novels and then the graphic novel to see how the creators managed to take such classics and mix them up all together.

Hence I came up with…

The League of Extraordinary Gentle – Men of la – Book Challenge (Vol. 1)DETAILS/RULES:

1. The goal is to read the classic books and the graphic novel to see how they all tie together. No blog is needed, a review on Amazon, Goodreads, etc. is good enough.

2. What counts: books, eBooks, audio books

3. Crossovers from other reading challenges count.

The books are (in no specific order):
Dracula by Bram Stoker
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne
Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells
The First Men in the Moon by H.G. Wells
– Any Fu Manchu novel
– Any Sherlock Holmes novel
– Any Allan Quatermain novel
– Any James Bond novel

and

– The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen graphic novel to tie it all together. (if you don’t have it in your local library Amazon sells affordable issues).
