Didn't see one in the catalogue. Rate, hate, assume what other anons' lives are like based solely on the presentation of their books.

Into the wild, sure, you have have your "lol", didnt even finish it. Was pretty "meh".

The NHK novel was really good though. You get another insight on Satou loneliness than the anime, its alot less "dark comedy" and just simply dark & depressing.

I still haven't unpacked mine, so here is the collection of books that I accumulated during the time I was living in temporary accomodation. Everything decent is either on my ereader or in storage, and I need to get another bookshelf some time to put in the other room so I can drag my storage out, but what can you do.

Several of these items were gifts that I have not yet managed to conveniently pass on.

Strange Vollmann pics. The Royal Family and Imperial are both really good. I have read everything by him, and I would say that Last etc was his second worst. If you like The Royal Family, I would suggest Whores For Gloria and Rainbow Stories. If you like Imperial, I would suggest Poor People and the one that he has coming out.
