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.

Yay. Ze papah or the paper. It just sounds like Ze papeh (or some facsimile near enough). I do like the OVA (I have no idea how the TV series holds up.) The nice touches of almost steampunk...Yomiko's books. I'd forgotten how much I liked the series until you brought it up.

No idea, either: I think so far I've had one recommendation for and one against.

I think it's an alternate history, as well. At least, the British Library does not secretly run the world so far as I know.
