Japanese Watch Under the Dead

So I read my first 4 books for the year, and also I wanted to mention that my personal reading goal or what have you is 250 books again. Don't feel the need to push for 300. Plus I must finish reading the complete plays of Euripides, I'm sort of stuck in the middle of them and I want to move on to the next thing on my 'old books I can't believe I've never read' list.

Japanese Prints, by James Ulak
Tiny little book filled with shiny pictures of Japanese woodblock prints and interesting historical context essays. Very satisfying for its size, and conveniently portable. Am very glad to own it.

Ursula, Under, by Ingrid Hill
In lesser hands, this would have come off as cheap emotional manipulation. Instead I really really really liked it and was sad that it was over.

Traveling with the Dead, by Barbara Hambly
I didn't enjoy this one as much as the previous one, Those Who Hunt the Night, but I think it was actually just as good. The problem was that I read it in the waiting room at the vet's, so I was kind of distracted. It was diverting and clever though.

Night Watch, by Sergei Lukyanenko
I loved this book, and am so looking forward to the next one. Gritty and wonder-filled and ... it reminded me of Gogol somehow. I don't read enough Russian SF. Plus the movie makes SO much more sense now.
