the april/may of 2016 issue of azamov's.
new books have gotten to be too expensive and even the most recent of my issues of periodicals had started to be.
zen angel was my kind of escape.
matilda was ok, but i shudder to think what kind of crap hollywood would turn it into if they ever tried to make a move out of it.
i do have a collection of real books too, a dozen or so of hardbacks a similar number of 'trades'
(which means the size and format of hardbacks but without the hard backs)
i even have a shelf of reference materials, including catalogues (of electronic and electro-mechanical fiddly bits), which are mostly a decade out of date.
(still fun and the bast part most of the prices in the catalogues have come way down)
field guides to plants and animals i don't get a lot of use out of where i can afford to live,
and programing languages i've never gotten around to writing any code in.
and stuff about trains, big ones, little ones, all kinds of odd ones, and mostly not about old for the sake of old either.
