The following are just a few things that will be making me very, very happy in the coming months:
November:
-
X: Infinity Illustrated Collection by CLAMP
-
X: Zero Illustrated Collection - REISSUE EDITION by CLAMP -
I wonder if this one will have a new design and/or new material...?December:
-
Brokeback Mountain (dir. Ang Lee, 2005) -
Cowboys in love.-
One thousand and one nights by Jeon JinSuk and Han SeungHee -
Yeah. Remember this one? In English from ICE Kunion!!!January:
-
MASCA Vol. 1 by Kim Young-hee -
Slated for release from CPM AT LAST.Other things I'm trying (and failing) to resist:
-a Korean edition of
Yakusoku no Ie by Sakai Kunie -
I won't be able to read most of it, but it's the only way I'm going to get this out-of-print manga at this point...-subscriptions to
Harper's,
The New York Times, and
Bookmarks

I can't find this on either Amazon or TRSI. ;_;

Aiee, I don't have time to read the books I have now, much less the ones on my wishlist - this would take away reading time and make said wishlist grow terrifyingly.
It costs the same as the Infinity book, so whatever they do, it will match the new one in all of the particulars, I'm sure.

I preordered it from Dreamland comics...not to mention that the ICE Kunion sampler had some pages from it in it.

Interestingly, I found the magazine more informative than tempting. Most books I'm not interested in anyway, but it's nice to have something that cuts through the hype. The articles were excellent, as well.
Ah, excellent - hopefully, they've decided to stop messing with my orders, triple-shipping things to me, and overcharging. >.<

Hmmm - maybe I'll pick up an issue the next time I'm in Borders and check it out.
Grah, I can't find it on their site. Cursed, I'm cursed!
It's a sad day when the only I get excited about when it comes to Clamp is their artbooks.
Would it be bad for me to tell you that I've had a copy from CPM since April?
As for sad endings, it began to get me down a while ago, possibly because we were reading a lot of classic gay fic, from a time when the sad ending was obligatory. Thankfully those days are gone. I've just finished Adam & Steve, for example, which is a beautifully realised gay romance, also a film doing the circuit now I think, with Craig Chester from Swoon as writer/star.
Have you seen Beautiful Thing, a British movie about young gay love? It's very upbeat.
