I just received Unico, unfortunately for me, it has no inside margins; if I read this, it will likely fall apart from my pinning the pages open with various paperweights. :cry: I still have the single volume of Dororo sitting on the table. Only made it 1/3 of the way through, but I already read the 3 volume version. :p irate:

I'm reading The Five People you meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom.
It's very good, and you don't have to be a Religious person to like it.

I'm reading Sandworms of Dune, the final book of the Dune series. Unfortunately it wasn't written by the original author, but that's better than nothing ;)
The real sign that someone has become a fanatic is that he completely loses his sense of humor about some important facet of his life. When humor goes, it means he's lost his perspective.

Great book. It was written by the original author's son iirc.

ARABIAN NIGHTS, a different translation than the one I already read. :lol: So far, I have found 2 plot elements borrowed from it.

I'm reading Moby Dick... or trying to. I'm nearly two hundred pages in out of 552; normally I'd be done already with a book this size, but the action is so slow! Also started reading the second Dark Tower comic book, The Long Road Home, as well as in the middle of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

@SOPikaMeowMeow: The Five People You Meet in Heaven is a fantastic book, & the movie is great as well.

@ jeffbert: I started reading a condensed version of Arabian Nights, but had to return it to the library before I could finish it. Barnes & Noble has a cool hardback version with illustrations I would like to one day own; don't know what translation it is, though.

I was surprised to hear it had a movie. I'm going to have to check it out. :)

^Yeah, with Jon Voight as Eddie. It was a made-for-TV movie, but is still very good, and faithful to the book.

I read mostly public domain stuff that I copy to MS WORD, make a large sized Ariel bold font that I can see with ease.

Arabian Nights is dragging along, & it has been weeks since I bothered with it. :blush:
