So I was cool with Matt Ruff's Set This House in Order. But then I got to the middle and it was like HOLY SHIT ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! And now it's even more awesome. We're reading it this month for Book Club, but I will write more later once I've finished, and have read the links provided by jesse_the_k about people with MPD DID who actually read it.

ladyjax and other people on my LJ friends list have this meme:
When you see this, post your favorite poem in your journal.

I love oyceter's round-up of 2008 manga here. I agree with everything I've read (Vampire Knight, Sand Chronicles, Gunslinger Girl, Azumanga Daioh, NANA, xxxHolic, Tsubasa Chronicles, Emma, After School Nightmare, Cantarella), and would like to read everything else she recommends.
