Book Orgy!!

[sambucivox]

Went out for lunch. Found a library. Went back to library after work. And BADAM!!! They had every single book that I had been looking for in the last months, at an incredibly cheap price and in the original language!!! HELL YEAH!!

(They even had some books that I had given up on, for they were odd editions that only a few lucky libraries in the world were able to buy, and some books that I had never known I desired so badly till I saw them.)

And as a nice little extra, they had the Minna no Nihongo vol. 1, which I will have to buy for my future Japanese Language exams. Yeeeeeeesss!!!

So here's My List for the next month (ordered by Alphabetical Author):

- Neil Gaiman:

•  American Gods
•  The Dream Hunters (a fable, beautifully illustrated by Yoshitaka Amano, in a style that mixes Munch, Schiele, Klimt and Hiroshige.

- Gregory Maguire:

• Mirror Mirror (they had the entire collection, but I was dying to read this one more than any of the others.)

- George R.R. Martin:

• A Clash of Kings. In English. In paperback. Hatsune, you have to go to that library.

- Haruki Murakami:

• Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World (finally!!!!!!! a masterpiece in Japanese-English translation skills!!)
• Dance Dance Dance

- Amélie Nothomb:

• Robert des noms propres
• Mercure
• Attentat
• Les combustibles

I also got  a Japanese-Spanish dictionary, and I think that today I will order sushi and read until a certain fantasy authoress that has been wearing short shorts for the whole day gets online, neeeh?

But really, this has been an incredible treat after a long, LONG week.
