Whenever someone asks me a good shojou book to start with, I always recommend X-Day by Setona Mizushiro . Here’s why: 1. The layouts are relatively comprehensible/normal for people new to the shoujo collage-y reading. It’s always clear where you’re supposed to read next. It’s always clear ...

Odilon Redon : “Black is the most essential of all colors. Above all, if I may say so, it draws its excitement and vitality from deep and secret sources of health… One must admire black. Nothing can debauch it. It does not please the eyes and awakens no sensuality. It is an agent of the spirit ...

Most of the collectors whose libraries we bought were dead years before the libraries came to us, so the only way we could judge the level of eccentricity in the collectors was the books themselves, or from other evidence. ... An Orientalist named Paul Linebarger, whose father, we were told, ...
