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.

You know ... the other thing I love about your posts--I always have to look things up. And you know what research does to the imagination.

And possibly acquire Yomiko's library.

Although perhaps you will want a better filing system than she has.

Seconded. I was just about to have to ask you who the heck Lilienthal was. Then I looked him up, and now am slightly less confused. slightly.

Oh, Read or Die is such fun! I must rewatch it this weekend...

I LOVE the OVA of Read or Die!
It vexes me muchly that it is so short, and that the TV series looks to be much worse.

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.
