I really did considering it's $27 dollars for a softcover version at a bookstore down here in Reno.

I'd be really interested in reading this. Let us know how it is when you finish it.

The Ruined Map - Kobo Abe

Fiction piece about a private detective hired to find a man for a woman. The only clue given? A map, that doesn't offer any really clues to his wherebaouts, but rather a guide to living.

It's more than sad. This book dragged me through a whole gamut of emotions.

Lost Horizon - James Hilton

First time I've read a book on my own time in who knows how long. I just started it but I've heard great things about it.

Warren Ellis is my favorite comic writer so I'm interested in seeing how it translates without the pictures. My mum read it before me and said it was absolutely brilliant so I'm pretty excited to finish it.

kind of a hard read, but it is really messing with my head.
