it always makes me so excited when i see an old topic has been revived!! :D

recently i've been reading 2 anime magazines. (dunno if magazines should count here.) out of the two, i seem to favour the british one (Neo) more,  but that might just be because i recognize more of the series that are in there. the american one (OtakuUSA) is by no means bad, though; i've gained some new and interesting insight on some things thanks to their articles. (they had a review on one of the series that we're watching in club, which wasn't too favourable....but i like the series, and they seem to as well, so i'm gonna let it play out.) i'd like to get subscriptions to the two of them, and there's a third british anime magazine that i'd like to get as well. seems that OtakuUSA is the only anime magazine in north america anymore. :\

i've been wanting to get back into the habit of going to the bookstore weekly and buying up manga. i'm especially wanting to since they're re-releasing older titles. Loveless is back on the shelves (released in 02-03), and though it's $20, i've wanted to read it since i first bought manga. :3

@stew: what are your books about?

Imagining New England is almost certainly going to give me more justifications for my New Englandcentric worldview than I already have.... >>;;

@bella: no you don't, it's from 1919 and appearantly reads like a bible.

Aw. I was hoping it'd be fun/having interesting pictures and stuff. : (

Chocofreak13

well, it might, i haven't looked it over much. the damn thing's SOOPER old looking, but in surprisingly good shape given its age. it seems to have some etchings on the pages, though, so it might have some cool history. but my friend james read a few lines out loud and it really, really does read in an archaic-sounding style. it might have been my grandmother's, since her family was raised EXTREME baptist.
