I saw Hikaru no go dvd 1-4 at a local public library and I snatched them right off. They are fun to watch. I love the interaction between Sai and Hikaru. I really like Sai, he's like a kid - even though he does show some maturity when dealing with Hikaru and his peers, but when it comes to a Go game, he's just a kid :) Can't wait to read the manga.

75. Austenland. First sentence: "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a thirty-something woman in possession of a satisfying career and a fabulous hairdo must be in want of very little, and Jane Hayes, pretty enough and clever enough, was certainly thought to have little to distress her. Spoiler."

An unfavorable review from Austenblog

Some points:
- It's a total bluff read and fast, too.
- I like Nobley character. I'm not sure I like Jane - she doesn't seem to act like a 30+ year-old.
- The ending is just too fairytale for me to work.
- I don't like the listing of the past boyfriends - seems pointless to me.

Bottom line, that said, it's a fun read - I may reread a few passages here and there but probably not the whole book..
