I read eleven books on my recent holiday and four volumes of manga, but due to the harsh strictures of baggage restrictions on domestic flights I was forced to leave some of these behind, which makes logging them a bit more difficult. Actually, the main problem with my luggage allowance was manga – I took 20kg up with me, of which probably two-thirds was reading material, and most of that manga to lend to people. Unfortunately I’d forgotten just how much I’d already posted up/left behind that was now waiting for me to take back, and then of course I bought more… Anyway. Banana Fish (v1-14) is making its way around the first city I visited, while there’s a box of Oldboy, Ikigami, various Yoshinaga titles and A Drifting Life, plus three books, in the second city, thus enabling me to board with 24kg of suitcase and 6kg of carry-on (limits of 25 and 7kg, respectively). I left A Drifting Life behind on a previous trip because I was very close to the weight limit, but at least it’s now a few hundred kilometres closer.

Anyway. Brief recaps of titles I no longer have with me:

( David Peace, Tokyo Year Zero. )

( David Baldacci, Simple Genius. )

( Jaclyn Dolamore, Magic under glass. )

( Jo Walton, Half a crown. )
