[Idly dictated into the journal,]

It never ceases to amaze me with what people get to write, and what gets made into books. Some things just seem downright treasonous, but they still get bound, and bought, and read by lots of people.

I'm a little jealous to be frank. At home it could be pretty tough to get hold of books and things. Some of my friends couldn't even read so having books would have been moot.

[Rin is in the library today, which is not very surprising: the library is a good place to try and find her. Tad the Arcanine is hanging around lolling under tables and in front of chairs as she reads. Just now, she seems to be slipping a book into her carryall: the curious might get enough of a glimpse to see that she's making off with The Anarchist's Cookbook.

Open, of course.]

Scrolls? I always thought those were pretty cool. I've always wanted to see one. And I mean a real one, not one of those fake ones they show in the movies or whatever.

I'm pretty sure the library has some, if you're very curious. They're pretty! Some of them have whole paintings that tell stories, that you unroll and look at as you go...

Really? I'll have to take a look. Those painting ones especially, those sound incredible.

Do you speak Japanese?
eat_me_beat_me: (wtf)

[personal profile] eat_me_beat_me 2012-03-27 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
No. I took some Spanish in school but I didn't really pay attention...
payback: (huh; so that is how babby formed...)

Oh. Well I bet you can probably find some that are translated anyway! Then you can read the descriptions that go along with the pictures.

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely keep an eye out for that. Any recommendations?
payback: (wait | and lust in trust in rain)

The Tale of Genji maybe... though that's a big story! Not just a scroll.
eat_me_beat_me: (wtf am I reading)

[personal profile] eat_me_beat_me 2012-04-17 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Tale of Genji? What's it about?
payback: (notice; now put the thugs away.)

It's about this prince who sleeps with a lot of women, and about a lot of those women too.

[BLUNT...]

[She laughs. Girl, she fell for a guy who pretended to jerk off over the radio. That's NOTHING.]

Sounds great!

If you like the sound of that you'll probably find it interesting if nothing else!
eat_me_beat_me: (the master at work)

[personal profile] eat_me_beat_me 2012-04-19 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
It sounds pretty cool, yeah. I'll definitely check it out. Thanks!
