8th jar of honey

I think I have a really interesting hate love relationship with holidays here. The castle gets creative, for better or worse, makes things interesting. But I also think about all the things people at home are doing. Emerson,Olive, Digby  and Pigby, not to mention my aunts... a girl could drive herself crazy by thinking about all the people who aren

Boltzman's Principles of Healing has saved more lives than I can count, although I will admit that Rydack's A Portrait of Asgard is much more accessible to the casual reader.

[curioushoney]

Principles of Healing? Are you a doctor? To be honest I haven't read either of those, do you think they have them in the library here?

[ruin_mania]

It's a rare book on how to effectively use healing magic, actually, and I am a mage. Some of the more esoteric uses include returning people to normal when they have been transformed into monsters, as well as how to bring back those who are on the brink of death. I count it as the single most valuable literary resource I have ever had access to.

But, as I say, A Portrait of Asgard is probably more enjoyable for most people. It's written in an easy style, yet its subject is fascinating and it has many illustrations. And I've yet to find reference to any book, no matter how obscure, that cannot be found in the library here, so I'm sure you would be able to find them if you tried.

[curioushoney]

Amazing, we don't have mages or monsters back home but learning about healing would be an interesting read nonetheless.

Well, I suppose I'll just have to look into both of them. That's great, I really think could live in the library.

[curioushoney]

I haven't read anything in Japanese in the longest time. It sounds beautiful.

[curioushoney]

Nice to know.

[ooc:lol, will do.]

[loverstomorrow]

Hm, I'd say Honor and Humility~ Great romantic story.

[curioushoney]

The title is very Jane Austen.

[loverstomorrow]

Jane Austen?

[XD in Persona there are these weird alternate names for everything, so this pretty much is Pride and Prejudice, except for her world XD]

[curioushoney]

She's a very famous English writer from the 18th and 19th centuries where I live. The titles of some of her books sound like the one you suggested; Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility.

[thisisyimhot]

It would be rather difficult to pick just one.

[curioushoney]

I know, there are just so many good stories and topics out there, and brilliant authors. How about your top three?

[thisisyimhot]

I don't know about that, either, but three that I've recently enjoyed --

Ishmael by Daniel Quinn
Out of Mind by J. Bernlef
Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse

[curioushoney]

I've read Siddhartha; such a moving book. Are the other two at the same level?

[shinyforehead]

It is difficult to say, especially in a place like this. I've never seen such a magnificent library.

[curioushoney]

It really is extraordinary; all the books from a hundred worlds.

[shinyforehead]

I find the world histories particularly fascinating... perhaps that's because there's nothing really documented like that back home.
