This book's page numbers are reversed so at this point I have 480 pages left to read; nearly the halfway point. This is an epic story, so rich I've had to take breaks to read other things. I actually enjoy taking my time with it. Coming back to it again and again is like returning to a spot by the fire with an old friend who picks up the story where they left off, saying expansively, "Now, where were we..."

This book is a great chronicle of Chinese medicine, to my reading, laying bare the bones of a collection of beliefs about healing for analysis. I am looking forward to reading through all the books in this series.

ahh, just as satisfying as the anime!

Urk, this is taking me a long time to read, too distracted by GN suggestions.

Alas, I spend more time writing and thinking about writing than I do reading. My progress is slow and I have dropped books that I've started, saving them for when I'm not so preoccupied.

Somewhat depressing, seems to be a "what if" version of the Marvel universe. Interesting, but more like a background story that's made foreground. Not sure if I like it...

Finished Carmilla a few days ago, a seriously strange tale equating homosexuality to vampirism. The Victorians had some definite hang ups about sex...great story though.
