Thanks to my good friend Emir, who lent me three books: Carson McCullers' Reflections in a Golden Eye and The Ballad of the Sad Cafe, and Jeff Noon's Pixel Juice. These books will help keep me sane in case my friends prove no shows again for the weekend (because they're always busy, *scowl*) and I'm left to choose between having discussions about the weather with my other personalities or play Matira Ang Matibay sa Gran Matador with Mang Pong, the compound's caretaker.

I know Carson McCullers' books aren't exactly happy happy stories -- I've read The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter several years ago and I remember slashing my wrists and almost getting admitted to rehab for depression. Okay, not true. The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter left me a heartache, that's what. But it was a great read, no doubt about it.

Anyway.

I'm thinking of getting into reading Manga, but don't know where or what to start with. I heard about Death Note but I heard these stuff are pretty pricey. And you know me, more often than not I leave the bookstore in tears because the books I want are so darn expensive.


Also, I want to catch this.
