More or less awake now. I feel better.

Went to used bookstore at lunch, found (swear to God) an Enid Blyton three-decker (how on earth did it get here?) and Columbo Goes to College in Japanese. Totally kick-ass jacket painting. I don't read Japanese, so if anybody out there wants the actual book part to read, drop me a line.

Yes, yes!! They are so good! And so damn hard to get the last two titles in the UK, I just got my last one in Feb...

Katy Did at School is the best one... It has Rose Red, my favourite character, and a teacher whose fiancee was eaten by a cannibal while on missionary work... sort of...

Ooo! I'll have to keep an eye out.

If you like those, you might like Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster.

I saw that book in a second hand shop at the weekend!! I'm going to buy it tomorrow, I didn't know it was an American story... I just thought it was a romanticky book...

It's romanticky, but not sticky. Mostly it's a school story.

Oh, and there's a sequel called Dear Enemy.

School stories are my favourites. And not just because I have a dirty mind... I've become addicted to an early 1990s series called Freshman Dorm by Linda Cooney, too...
