On Literary matters. Or shall we say... "literary".

[tammaiya]

I may or may not have just skim-skipped 150 pages of Takaya being tortured to get to the bit where he and Naoe reunite and have lots of sex. *looks shifty*

I actually have a lot more to say on the topic of MoB because I've been back in full swing reading it during my travels. Also, obviously I have a lot to say about said travels, now that I am back home. (by which I mean my dorm in Tokyo.) But for now I am going back to reading book 24. :D

PS speaking of reading I have discovered in Kinokuniya, Hiroshima an Anne of Green Gables book I NEVER KNEW EXISTED. I feel like the foundations of my entire CHILDHOOD have been shaken. It is almost a betrayal. I always did think Anne's House of Dreams was a bit of an abrupt jump from Anne of the Island; NOW I KNOW WHY.

PPS, oh my god, found new sequel to Howl's Moving Castle in same Kinokuniya! WAS A++++++. ILU HOWL AND SOPHIE.

ETA: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH

I HATE THIS SERIES

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS DO THIS TO ME, MIRAGE? WHYYYYY?!?!?!?!?! *beats head against desk*

ETA 2: ... Okay, book is forgiven. PROVISIONALLY. It should count itself lucky I didn't pitch it at the wall in a fit of unspeakable keyboard mashing rage, though. XD;

o__o welcome back, so you're still interested in mirage, guess you don't hate it too much...

Thanks. XD; I can never decide if I hate MoB or not, although I do think I must be a masochist to keep reading it. That fit of rage was prompted by Takaya deciding to erase all Naoe's 400 years of memories of him, for Naoe's own good, only about 3 scenes after they'd been reunited after THREE AND A HALF BOOKS of not appearing in the same scene. I was expecting another 5 books of angst and not meeting to ensue. T____T

The recant was several scenes, possibly a chapter's worth (which I totally skimmed out of anxiousness) later when Naoe managed to resist and yelled at him for being a selfish dumbass. It concerns me that for the last four books Naoe has been the least crazy person, but oh well. *cough*

Oh yes, the Howl and Sophie love! And Abdullah!

Oh the flowery conflagrations he spoke in! It was gorgeous!

No no, not Castle in the Sky! It's NEW! It came out this year and is called House of Many Ways! :D

AH! Sequel to Howl's Moving Castle? *Glomps* Sounds fun.

But....what about Naoe/Takaya's getting back together in book 24? 0.0 *Slobber* Please, do tell w/e you're bored and hit with insomnia once more. (I get that too)
