What are you currently reading/watching/etc?

Reading Me and the Devil Blues. I actually didn't get too far into it initially but it's a pretty good manga with fantastic art and an unusually accurate portrayal of 1930's america. i actually read recently that it's going to be continued so i feel more inclined to catch up.

Currently reading "Quite Contrary" by Richard Roberts, again. It's hard work at times as the main character isn't all that likeable, to be honest. But it's still a really good book, and I would love to see said main character in further adventures.

Just finished Zettai Bouei Leviathan. It was pretty much what I was expecting. Too harmless to actually be bad, but it didn't feel like much happened over the course of 13 episodes.

Next up is Mahoraba. I've heard that this show is considered fairly good and was highly influential on the development of puni plush art styles during the late 2000s. Looking forward to it.

Reading the Grapes of Wrath. From Bad to Worse. Everyone starved to death.

HAHAHA apparently the Okies aren't people.

Then In Cold Blood.

Reading Target: Basra but struggling with it. Not that it's too complex or anything, I mean the writing style could scarcely be any easier to read without being bullet points and it's basically an entry-level introduction to a subject I know...I just find it hard to engage with the book. It's a bit like all the words keep running around the page and making me forget where I was up to.

More enjoyably, though, I finally got around to hearing some of Witchcraft's stuff. By Set's droopy nose, they are so 70s I could feel my moustache lengthening as I sat there and I loved every second of it.

Sailor moon Crystal.

Pretty damn good IMO. It is my first sailor moon

I just love magical girls as a genre <3

Always.

Somebody at ITV has scheduled all my favourite firefighting films this week to cheer me up, I think.

I know I'm a little late to the game (^_^;;), but I'm now officially a fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender. :)

Reading The Art of Aikido. The amount of focus on traditional style over practicality in aikido is amazing, it might as well be called gentleman-fu.

Just finished watching Mahoraba. Decent, and obscenely cute, but it didn't really do much that I haven't seen done better in other shows. Satomi Arai's performance as Kozue et al was excellent, though. Also, am I the only one who found Erika totally adorable despite being, well, Erika?

Next up is Hyouka. Although many of the early shows I watched (MOHS, Lucky Star, K-On, Clannad) were from KyoAni, I haven't actually seen anything from them since watching the K-On movie about two years ago (and Kanon shortly before that). So Hyouka will be my first one in a while, and also the most recent one in terms of release date. While I don't like the direction KyoAni has been taking with their art styles judging from the screenshots I've seen (the classic MOHS and Clannad looks, and even K-On, were better), I guess I at least owe it to them to try watching some of this stuff before making my final judgement. At any rate, I know I can rely on them to deliver superb animation quality.

I'm now reading Jon Ronson's The Men Who Stare At Goats. This stuff is surreal.

At the moment, I'm reading "Ash" by Malinda Lo. So far, it's a little slow, but I'm still going to keep on reading, hoping it gets more exciting. I actually don't mind a slow start as long as it is to establish some backstory and lead-up to the main plot.

I'm slowly but surely making my way through The Silmarillion.

Same here, though I've interrupted it recently. I'll get back to it when I have more time.

imm reading the vorkosigan saga

also rereading his dark materials, because i just brought it from my old place

Finished my first (and probably last) volume of Cerebus The Aardvark, High Society. I liked it.

Finally started reading The Walking Dead. On volume two now. I'll probably start on the show soon.

And I played a little Wario Land II after finding my GBA charger. Love the game, but forgot how big it is.

Playing Guild Wars 2, re-reading Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm A Super-Villain. (Yes, again. Seriously that book should be subtitled "Crack for comic fans. Parental Guidance required. )

I just got Battleship on Blu-Ray but I'm waiting til I get Edge of Tomorrow and Pacific Rim to watch it and them in one geekoutofdestiny.

Watching The Wire.

It is depressing, but very human and quite funny. Also, all the depressing moments make heartwarming and awesome moments fill simply cathartic.

Justice League.

I miss the days when shows like this weren't taken of the air after one or two seasons.

I'm reading Dealing With Dragons for the twelfth time. I still adore it.

Chris Brookmyre's "Flesh Wounds". Great book. If you read it, though, you will never look at a pumpkin the same way again.

Reading: Criminal Law curriculum
Watching: Legend Of Galactic Heroes and Mobile Suit Gundam The08th MS Team
Playing: Last Bible, Dragon Quest V and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call
