To peek through the crack and meet with a stack of books

[sovay]

I am slightly less in hibernation. I had dinner tonight with eredien, which was awesome, after which she and raxvulpine showed me the first part of the OVA Read or Die. It left me with a certain impulse to run through rooms shouting, "I am Otto Lilienthal!" but I must confess that if a nefarious bee-wielding clone of Jean-Henri Fabre ever stole a rare first edition from me before I could read it, I probably would consider it a reasonable response to attack him and retrieve the book. (Yes, we knew this already.) Truly, I have to see the rest of this series. And possibly acquire Yomiko's library.

For reasons as yet unexplained, the plot is full of superpowered clones of brilliant historical figures

Oh my. It really does sound as if I ought to see this. I've heard it described before and thought That sounds interesting, but hearing this puts it on a whole new level.

I promptly exclaimed, "He's not obscure!" But I will acknowledge that I may be the only person who thinks so.

Well, I didn't think he was particularly obscure. ;-)

The main character is a bespectacled bibliophile who can make anything out of paper—I don't mean origami, I mean nets and leashes of overlapping pages, airplanes large enough to bear the weight of two people. She's a secret agent for the British Library. This is some serious awesome.

*sighs* Why don't I ever meet anyone like that? ;-)

Sounds like. I'm going to have to look into it.
