    Oh my gosh I love love LOVE Shaun Tan! My favorite of his is Tales from Outer Suburbia, which is a collection of short magical realism stories, complete with his incredible illustrations (of course). His illustrations are amazing, but his WRITING is just as impressive! Shaun Tan is one of the few creators in the world whose work I read with a mixture of awe and jealousy because I'm just so blown away by the way his mind works. I've also read his most recent release, Tales from the Inner City, but I have to warn you, it is MUCH darker than Outer Suburbia, and made for a more depressing read. Still worth reading, but definitely start with Outer Suburbia!

    Shaun Tan is one of my favourite authors and illustrators of all time. I have a very similar reaction every time I revisit one of his stories (which are all fantastic, by the way!)
    He lives and works in Melbourne, which is where I am from, and I had the pleasure of meeting him once! He is a lovely humble, gentle fellow with a dry sense of humour.
    So glad you discovered and enjoyed his work!

    Graphic novels are real books and count towards any book reading goal. I got to about 130 last year (though my friend turned around and said ... didn't you say 300 ?) Actually my aim has always just to get through many of the books I have bought otherwise they just stay on the shelves unloved. I mix reading 1000 pagers (Marvel / DC Omnibus) with a number of short books as well as more photo / graphic themed ones as well as plays etc. Great video as ever
