I'm interested in a lot of things, probably too many subjects even. I had the same idea of taking more pictures that could be better quality but I dismissed the idea after all, seeing your photos changed my mind now though.

Might as well post these too. They don't belong to me, but our house is home to a 'manga library' of library donated to a university society I'm involved in.

Other than what's also on my own shelves I've only read Buddha, Chobits and Town of Evening Calm. This summer ought to be a good time to read through a bunch of these. Recommendations welcomed.

That was essentially my experience with Anthem (though it was short enough that I did finish it in a day or two.)
