owlectomy*Tomorrow I am going to the dentist. ...I'm kind of looking forward to getting it over with? By which I mean I'm not.
*But at least Community is coming back, even if I may not get a chance to watch the episode until tomorrow morning.
*OMG Bitterblue has CIPHERS in it Kristin Cashore ILU. I just keep being surprised by thick paper books being heavy. Now I have to strategize my taking-books-to-the-dentist tactics because I can't take Bitterblue and Verity both.
*Speaking of which, I am definitely having an embarrassment of riches in reading materials. Black Heart is about to come out and Benjamin Alire Saenz's new book should be coming to me by Friday.
*Picked up the latest issue of Sekai magazine, which has an interesting dialogue between Kakuta Mitsuyo and a writer/illustrator who wrote a book about how she raised three pigs to eat to explore some of the contradictions in our modern getting-meat-in-plastic-from-the-supermarket lifestyle. Every time I read one of these articles I can't help but feel that being a vegetarian is a *lot* less of a hassle than raising pigs in your shed, but it was a good article nevertheless!

19/3/12 23:50 (UTC)I loved the first two books so much, and then here comes a book that is great in the same ways as the other two, but also has CIPHERS, and talks about guilt and moral responsibility and memory and healing in the context of an oppressive regime (hello, my interest in issues of how WWII is remembered in postwar Japan!) and it's amazing.
