Because I have nothing else to do
Finished reading the Diaries of Court Ladies of Old Japan. A good read, but now I am interested in the life of men at court in Japan. Anyone know of any books I could read there? Reading this has gotten me REALLY excited to read the books I have awaiting me in America, here's to hoping that they are wonderful. And after reading Murasaki Shikibu's diary, I am VERY excited to read Genji Monogatari.
SO MANY BOOKS TO READ. Apparently there was a book written by an assassin on how to be an assassin and I really want to read it, buuuut it's illegal to own. Still, I am curious and I want to know! But I will probably never read this book. And if I do, I can never tell you.
Also if anyone knows of any good books by people who were spies (like, autobiographies), let me know! I'm in the mood for them. My mother leant me a book like that when I was younger, and it was FABULOUS. I want to reread it now.
I like reading. :3
Also--Naruto fanbook is HILARIOUS. And I started reading the Sasuke and Itachi fight novelization, which is at the very least interesting. I haven't read very much though. Because I have to look a lot of stuff up. D: Grammar, I fail you.
Okay, and now for a meme that I took from murasaki_kaze

Anyway, back to hiding under the kotatsu and waiting for winter to be over.
