I was buzzing along reading The Bell Jar where Esther Greenwood is sick from food poisoning when I came upon this sentence:
The room hovered around me with great gentleness, as if the chairs and the tables and the walls were withholding their weight out of sympathy for my sudden frailty.
Nicely done.

Hello, I'm back after a long hiatus. I caught up on bookstep, reading most posts, but somehow missed the anime entries. Where are they hiding? I'm very sorry to have missed the discussion on Pan's Labrynth, too. You all made me want to read Sylvia Plath.
Hey there! Don's anime ques was in the comments of Monday, April 7. He has now seen and liked all of Miyazaki's work and wants to know what else is good in that genre. We all misunderstood his question and thought he wanted to know what Miyazakis were the best.
C -- Will do some investigation into the YA non-fiction. Unfortunately haven't had as much time as I would like to read anything other than terribly written essays that fill me with joy and make me laugh out loud as I read them. Dumb kids... Stupid job... :)
