(Not counting the thread aboout the video by Tom Cruise about Scientology).
Hellsing is weird. Alucard looks like a bishie, and it seesm like the Vatican and the Protestants are going to war with each other. That's in the firstfive chapters or so!
You know someone is batshit insane if their laughter is longer and louder than the carnage they've just been involved in.

Bookish love...
Sep. 3rd, 2006 07:46 pmThe book-discount went on until today, so I got some more stuff out of it.
The Stepford Wives by Ira Levin. Because I could do with a good scare now and again, and that book gets rather creepy. Not so much with gore and blood, just suspense and the overall feeling of 'They have not just gone there!'.
The fisrt volume of Yu-Gi-Oh!. *hangs head.* I know, I know. I never really had time for the cartoon, never really liked it, and why I picked up the manga I'll never know. For a laugh, I think. It's better than I thought. I thought that it was a card-game though, going by the cartoon. Haven't seen any of those. How old is Yugi anyway, being in 10th grade?
And John Milton's magnum opus Paradise Lost. After Yu-Gi-Oh! I needed some serious literature. :P Don't hit me! I was only kidding. It reads ver nicely, not that I can follow it all at first read, but well, we'll give it time.
Anyway, I have some more things to read. ^.^

The joy of discount-markets...

*gleeful.*
I've got Saiyuki 3 and 4. And Cowboy Bebop part 1. (Only to find out at home that it's based on the anime, instead of the other way around. *shrugs.*) I've never read the latter, don't even know what it's about, but I have heard about it, so this is a good opportunity to find out about it all.
*squees.* Saiyuki! On paper! And they handle the whole Chii Yisou/Hakkai-storyline, which is one of my favourites. I is a very happy

EDIT: For someone who loves that storyline, I sure don't know how to spell ChiN Yisou's name. *headdesk.*
