It would be really cool if I could find a collection of all Dr. Seuss' books, I love the guy. Unfortunately, I have yet to locate such a collection

I'm waiting for the 17th book of a manga series called 20th Century Boys. It's pretty awesome in the way that it talks about the importance of music to the main character, and that the world population in is danger of destruction no less than three times in the space of about 15 years. Sadly, I've only found it in japanese right now, and have to read scanlations, 'cause I can only read English or Chinese translations. The last time I looked for it at my favorite book store, they didn't have it, either.
Oh, and I'm waiting for Hanakimi to be finished so the manga-ka can start a new series...I'm so excited! Last edited by Embladyne : 01-17-2005 at 07:04 PM. |
