    I’m looking forward to hearing what you think of Moribito!

    Actually, if Blade is interested, you’re welcome to pass the volumes upstairs. I don’t know if he’s seen Guardian of the Sacred Spirit or not (we will be buying the DVDs as soon as the complete set is available.)

    I am so very jealous of your ability to get so much reading done in a given month. I think I didn’t manage more than six or seven books in all of July. Very frustrating.

    How did you like Julie & Julia? I’ve been trying to find out what Julia Child’s reaction was to the book, but have had no success. Did you know there’s a movie coming out with Meryl Streep in it? Eeeee!

    @ Ceri,

    Dunno about Sacred Spirit, We’ve seen the first 3 vols of Moribito, latest disc hasn’t been in since it’s come out (at least when I’m at the rental place anyway)

    “Guardian of the Sacred Spirit” is the subtitle of Moribito in Japanese.

    If you’re enjoying it, I think you’d like the books. That’s if you think you’d read them.

    Phnee – Light; interesting to me because I read the blog itself for a while way back when. Julia Child ‘s reaction is unknown, because she died before the book came out. :P (But the book does talk about how various journalists tried to get Child’s reaction while the blog project was happening, and they didn’t get far.) Worth the read, but not too deep. Good summer fare.
