This is an older photo from a few weeks ago.

I am going to try to make an active effort to check everyone’s blog posts more. Feel free to link blog posts that you would like me to read. π
I’ve read well over 500 manga books, but I’m getting back into reading novels. I like to buy novels rather than borrow from the library because I don’t like being pressured under time to return them. The books and authors I like, or am interested in are:
– The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (completed in high school)
– Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories (I’ve read “The Black Cat” and “The Cask of Amontillado”)
– Haruki Murakami (I’ve read Pinball, 1973; A Wild Sheep Chase; South of the Border, West of the Sun; Underground: The Tokyo Gas Attack and the Japanese Psyche; The Strange Library)
– 1984 by George Orwell (completed in high school)
– The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux (completed in high school)
– Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson (completed)
– The Hunchback of Notre-Dame by Victor Hugo (want to buy)
– Frankenstein by Mary Shelley (currently reading)
– No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai (planning to buy)
– Walden Two by B.F. Skinner (I own it, but I’ve placed it on hold)
– Japanese Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Edogawa Rampo (planning to buy)
– Monkey by Wu Ch’Eng-En, translation by Arthur Waley (planning to buy)
– Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare (planning to read)
If you’ve read The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, No Longer Human or Monkey, please let me know your thoughts! The Hunchback of Notre-Dame is 940 pages, which seems like a daunting task for me because I’m used to reading comics… Lol…
