Yomiko Readman Lives Here

INSANE Book Store 1

I came across this picture of a rather insane book store earlier today and it immediately reminded me of the residence of a certain Yomiko Readman of “Read or Die” fame. The similarities are striking but goodness knows how they get away with the health and safety aspect of having thousands of books stacked this way ;)

Read or Die - Yomiko Readman “The Paper”

The film and tv series are well worth watching; of course reading the manga would be even better! More pictures of the crazy shop can be found here.

In unrelated news I’ll be starting my rather rigorous jet-lag avoidance experiment tomorrow whereby I’ll be getting up and going to bed an hour earlier, progressively each day pushing my body clock closer to Korea time (GMT +9). By Friday I should be getting up at 2am, ouch!! If you’re in the UK, enjoy the bank holiday tomorrow!

    Wow! That’s amazing! Where is the book shop? I really want to go there now ^_^ in fact, I think I want to live there too! >_< Your jet lag experiment sounds really quite cunning, will we be getting updates of how it progresses throughout the week?

    Hi Dana, I’m still in the UK, off to Korea tomorrow though! I went to an exhibition about Japanese Art at the British museum on the bank holiday - http://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/whats_on/all_current_exhibitions/crafting_beauty.aspx - it was quite good! Hope all is well with you :)
