As mentioned previously, went to Borders yesterday and ogled at their extensive manga section. Not only that, but the one in Sunnyvale has a shelf of untranslated manga! For a very expensive price about twice as much as Kinokuniya, but still! Just the fact that they have them there makes me really happy. Also, browsing that, I discovered that Watsuki Nobuhiro (the guy who wrote Rurouni Kenshin, the first manga I ever read) has a new series out!! But not in English, it appears =(. Booo.

For some reason, I'm on a bit of a manga and non-fiction kick these days, which is a rather odd combination. Yesterday night I started reading Philip Gourevitch's We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families, about the genocide that took place in Rwanda in 1994, since I wanted to know more after watching The Interpreter. And then my mind was apparently still preoccupied with manga, because I dreamt very strange dreams about ethnic cleansing and browsing the manga section at Borders, which was incredibly disturbing.

Does anyone have any good African history recs, btw? I know absolutely nothing about it, and I feel I should.
