Staring at the naked sun.

You guys, I can't. Really, I love my local library. I love the Helsinki area library system. But sometimes I can't. They amuse to me to no end. Remember that time I wrote about the ebrary and their weird way of categorising books? They've now translated the same categories to physical libraries! At least to the English book collection. I clearly remember that before "romance fiction" books had their own category. And "sci-fi/fantasy" did NOT contain Nora Roberts books… now we have this: (please excuse the badly collated photos, keeping angles coherent with my phone is not one of my gifts) You have Poe next to Pratchett next to Rice… next to Nora Roberts? It just boggles my mind. At least non-sci-fi/fantasy and crime fiction still remain in separate categories. Unless Nora Roberts has started writing sci-fi/fantasy novels. In which case I must read them because they can't be any worse than the brilliant *cough*not*cough* stuff I read back in the day. That reminds me that I never did get around to reading those books with the covers forever!beheaded MacKade brothers like this or this or this. Only logical conclusion: they must all be rather weird looking eyes. Speaking of books, last year during the holiday season I read Demon City Shinjuku (and then got to visit Shinjuku, which made the whole thing even more awesome), this year I've started another young love story - Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion and so far it's been an awesome book. I tend to rather dislike first person POV but here it works. There is this borderline cynic edge to the narrative I quite like. Still, we'll see how it goes once the whole love story arc starts… I also tend to not really get people's obsession with zombies, but here it works well.
