I just finished Death Note Vol 12--the final book in the manga series. Great read.

I just finished reading The Ocean At The End of The Lane by Neil Gaiman. It was a very enjoyable book. This is the first book written by Neil Gaiman that I have read, and it certainly won't be the last.

There is a short story that is worth reading as well. Beyond Birthday. It's a all text novel, but if you loved DN as much as I you will dig it.

EDIT: Novella I guess, not short story.

Thanks, Aspro. I'll definitely check it out soon.

After almost a thousand days I've finally finished "The Years of Rice and Salt" by Kim Stanley Robinson. I read through around 130 pages before having a long break from reading. Good thing I remembered it well enough when I started reading it again. It's definitely my favourite book I've read this year (not that there are many to choose from). Time for my most challenging read yet: an unofficial OutKast biography.

The years of reading The Years of Rice and Salt.

If only I had eaten rice with salt during reading.

I just ordered Death Note: Another Note - The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases from Amazon.

It's not available for Kindle ( ), so I have to wait until Friday to start reading it. It was $16.19 for a 176 page novel! Yikes! I'll probably have it read in one day too, lol. It better be worth it, Aspro!

Hmmm... well, it's not worth $16.19. Unless you add in the decorative value, in which case, it is.

Well, go into it open minded. Once I realized what it was abuot I enjoyed it.

BTW, I accidently buoght two copies of it (I don't have either any more). I am actually surprised it si stil available for purchase.

Well, I just recieved my new Death Note book in the mail. I haven't read any of it yet.The cover is so odd. I thought someone had cut dust jacket in half, but that's how it's supposed to be. It just looks so weird with half a dust jacket. Other than that, it's certainly a well crafted hardbound book, and it should be for the $16 I paid. I haven't purchased a physical book since I bought Joyland last June. Time to see if I still dislike reading physical books as much as I used to.

Commercial, well crafted hardbound books cost closer to $160. But they do cost about $16 to make I suppose.

I bought Dracula and foundation, both are supposed to be great. I will start with Dracula first , anything I should know ? Is Frankenstein considered the better of the two? I know vampires existed before Dracula but did this book set the modern rules of was that done before? And was it the universal movies that turned Dracula into the king of monsters, when did that mentality start?

I have finally read Don Quixote. I've also read many X-Men comic books... online.
