Okay, so there is a second English print of T50YS out finally (the other MZD book)-- http://oas2000.proxis.be/gate/jabba.coreii.g_p?bi=4&sp=DETAILS&mi=5543975&si=85055637 but he's been on record as saying there will probably be a US printing of it at some point in the future, but how far into the future nobody has a clue.
*pouts* I really wish I could validate paying $60 for a book right now to myself--especially a short story that actually only spans 50 of the 100 pages, except for the occasional illustration...and the fact that it's an MZD book. I waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant it nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! I feel like Veruca Salt ;-) I finally borrowed The Whalestoe Letters from the library last week. I've been meaning to just buy it since I read HoL, but it never seems to be at the bookstore when I'm in a book-buying mood, so I figured I'd borrow it from the library just so I can finally read it...and now I'm doubting my decision because I like to write extensively in his books...now I realize why I didn't just borrow it sooner...damnit!
Okay...so I'm off now. I think I'm going to shower, go to the bookstore and possibly shell out $10 if B&N happens to have a copy of Whalestoe Letters at the moment (they may because of the OR release) and sit and read and possibly finish OR. I actually had a dream about it last night.
In other news, I just read two very amusing books last week, both about the parts of the industry I'm not so familiar with: Kitchen Confidential and The Perfect Manhattan. The first is by a chef who started out as a dishwasher in a small restaurant in Provincetown and then moved onto the CIA (Culinary Institute of America) and has worked at innumerable places since. It was well-written and hysterical and by a true veteran of the kitchen. The second is a fictional novel (very easy read, a bit fluffy, but...what do you expect) based on actual experience of two Manhattan bartenders who also worked at a Hamptons hotspot.
Again, it's finally time for me to finish OR. I don't want to keep dreaming about it until I finish it...though I'm sure it will never leave me alone. It just has affected me that much. It's actually the most personally affecting book I've ever read.
