With 6ish days left. We'll see how much I can read tomorrow.

I'm now 13 volumes into Naruto and it honestly has no business being as good as it is. Love it when people make quality media aimed toward youth that takes on deeper topics.

Going book shopping later this month and the goal is to get through 50 of my unread manga by then. Here's 1-10. It's rainy and pretty out today.

Also, has anyone read anything amazing lately (not just manga, though. ANYTHING) that you recommend I check out?

The Gone-Away World | Nick Harkaway

Pickpick

The unnamed narrator is a firefighter in a post-apocalyptic world. In the first chapter he and his crew are called out to a fire, but then change to a flashback for more than half the book.

Up until the big reveal about 2/3 of the way through, we followed some very, very funny detours but I don't think the actual story was enough to carry the reader on by itself, particularly as I kept losing track of who was who.

PICK with reservations.

I love teeturtle shirts & saw that there‘s a 40% off sale on their shirts about reading. This is a great time to get one because they‘re $12-15. I love this shirt—it‘s so me right now. Just want you all to have some nerdy reading shirts!

too busy battling the Evangelist‘s blazing determination to ban on religious grounds several of the texts students are required to study that year. Gulliver‘s Travels survives the scissors, as does A Christmas Carol, but Modern Short Stories in English is consigned for ever to the forbidden zone. Sadly, it is so dull that not even this recommendation can make any of us read it more than once.

20 years ago or so, I woke in the night with a crushing chest pain. My husband called an ambulance and because we had a young child, couldn't come with me. In the panic, neither of us thought to supply me with a book.

I was fine, but I was there for hours, getting tests and just lying there with nothing. What kept me from going completely mad was my obsession with this book, which I was able to “read“ from memory.
