More recent reading:
- Vampire Hunter D, Hideyuki Kikuchi. This would be the title I couldn't remember in my last reading post. I saw and enjoyed the anime long ago, and got the book for my birthday. The illustrations by Amano are lovely, of course, although I wouldn't object to there being more of them. I like the story, even though sometimes it's almost painful to read (whether that's the fault of the original or the translation, I don't know). Yes, D's very pretty. Got it already.
- Dead I Well May Be, Adrian McKinty. Oh man, I think I've got a new favorite author. I don't remember if this was something
claytonsghost recommended or if I stumbled upon it while wandering through Amazon, but when I saw it for $5 at Barnes & Noble I figured I'd cross one more item off my Amazon wish list. I loved it. It's dark, violent, and often very funny. I see there's another Michael Forsythe novel, I wonder if it's as good as this first one?
- A Scanner Darkly, Philip K. Dick. Mostly I wanted to read this before seeing Linklater's next Giant Rotoscope Extravaganza. I'm sure I'd have been better served by not reading with a picture of Keanu as Bob firmly lodged in my head. "Whoah." Did I like the book? Honestly, I'm not sure yet.
