owlectomyWent into the bookstore last night so desperate for something different to read that I ended up buying Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian. If nothing else, it's at least different.
Visited the manga section, doing my mental calculus of 'if it's worth reading at all, isn't it worth reading in Japanese?' and 'if I buy one book of Real Literature and one trashy manga, do they cancel each other out?' - and was charmed by the sight of three girls in head scarves sitting on the floor reading various shoujo manga, and one tall gawky boy reading Gravitation.
Oh brave new Bible Belt state, that has such people in't!
I have declared this to be my Day Off. Nevertheless, I have cleaned my bathroom and kitchen and will get started again shortly.
