bluelovesorangeone quick post before I leave for the hospital to visit my grandmother -
for those who were worried/didn't know what to say - I'm fine now. I just needed a little meltdown and then I got on with it.
Bookish things:
1. List of things I love/hate about being a bookseller (to-do)
2. There's a new Francesca Lia Block out, and it's another Weetzie Bat book - only Weetzie's in her forties now. It's got kisses in the title, and is v. pink.
3. I ordered a bunch of Emma Forrests and and old school Dorothy Cannell (The Thin Woman, aka my favorite in the entire Ellie Haskell Mystery series) for myself and am waiting to order Jamie Smart's Bear anthology (Bear is....not enough words for awesome, honestly. He's made out of human hair, he's Bear! Cute and evil comic look into the relationship a guy has with his murderous cat and a hapless soft toy, aka, Bear)
4. Howl's Moving Castle. Still love this book. Must make post on it.
5. Too many goddamn vampire fiction - I'm getting burned out on the undead.
6. Someone came in and asked about the new Anne Rice. I was mature and didn't burst out laughing, and only offered, "I think her new one is about Jesus...." (and no, it's not out yet)
7. Anansi Boys! I want one!
8. Not a bookish thing: Callum Blue is not a Bob.
8a. Still planning to go to London. Finances are tough, but I'll figure something out.
8b. I work the manga/graphic novels section and have been enticed by many a title - right now am still on Batman kick. Any titles you'd recommend? I find myself strangely attracted to She-Hulk, simply by the art.

Date: 2005-08-05 01:41 pm (UTC)I just reread Howl last week and must thank you again for reccing it in the first place. Lovelovelove that book. Does the movie compare?
I'm getting antsy about London myself. I still want to go, but the finances and those darned terror alerts aren't helping my sanity. On the bright side, I do have the time off requested...so, heh, maybe we could just go somewhere in the US if it comes to that. Vegas, Baby, Vegas!
And in graphic novels, I know I have a weakness for Alan Moore and Frank Miller. Have you read Moore's "The Watchmen"? (That might be a totally stupid question)
