Hey everyone! I've been pretty MiA lately, haven't I? Nothing much really to report other than I found a shitty part-time job that has the worst commute ever which might be replaced by a less shitty full-time job that pays a lot more in the near future if I hear from the person I spoke with and the same commute but more money > 400 buses and a ( Read more... )

AHAHAHAHAHAH

Dominos, it pwns you ♥

btw, if you're looking to get more Glass Mask, crunchyroll has fansubbed all of the episodes, so you can get the rest of the story from there -- it's more fun than the summaries. Not to mention the fact that Morikawa voices Masumi ;D

I JUST MIGHT DO THAT. I read all the summaries and the mangaka left off on a really stupid cliffhanger D:

If you liked Good Omens but you also like FBI / CIA / ESPIONAGE / POLITICS type stuff you might enjoy Terry Pratchett's City Watch series. They are:

'Guards! Guards!'
'Men at Arms'
'Feet of Clay'
'Jingo'
'The Fifth Elephant'
'The Truth'
'Night Watch'
'Monstrous Regiment'
'Thud!'

The first, Guards! Guards!, is a little less police-y than the rest, but I'd recc them all. It's old school police-y though, FYI.

Thanks! I've been meaning to start reading the Discworld books, so this is just another push in that direction! The only problem is that my library only has the first one in audiobook form. Sigh, the last time I requested an interlibrary loan, it took two months (and counting, requested beginning of December still haven't heard back!) so we'll see. I may just have to buy it or something when I get paid.

If you can think of anything else, I'd really appreciate it! I'm just running dry on reading ideas these days.

Well, there's a British absurdest humour fantasy type author I love called Robert Rankin, buuuuut if you have trouble getting hold of the Discworld books (which are more famous) I imagine he'd be even more difficult. The Antipope is one of his first books. Also possibly hard to get hold of but awesome: Tom Holt. If you're gonna get a book by him, Snow White and the Seven Samurai is good.

EASIER TO GET HOLD OF: James Patterson is a very good crime author (if you've ever seen the films 'Along Came A Spider' and 'Kiss the Girls', both with Morgan Freeman, they were originally Patterson novels)
