Last book you bought - or read

Not sure what it's like elsewhere but in Sweden this time of year there's always a book sale. Even stores that don't usually sell many books participate in the book sale (for unknown reasons).

Anyway I went to the local store and bought some books. One's a book about human evolution and one's a medieval type Bestiary (it's cute - it describes how pearls are formed by rocks that gather moonlight - it's written by a present day Swedish historian, though) and two fictions in English for about $1.5 each. One's a detective story with Maura Isles (I do watch Rizzoli & Isles when it's on TV but I haven't read the books) and the other seems to be some kind of horror/ghost story.

The last book (or books in this case) I bought was Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Winds. It is a classic by Hayao Miyazaki. I love the main character!

I was given Miyazaki's The Art of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds for Christmas.

The DC inking guide was also a gift the previous year (may have been birthday that time, I forget). I believe it was bought from a comic shop in Brighton, but you can probably find it on Amazon. It's not so much a practical inking guide, more Jansons thoughts about inking in general.

He does talk about things like line weight and lighting and what you should be doing in terms of interpreting the pencils, and there are plenty of comparative images of different inkers handling the same things.I would say it is worth a read, but it won't tell you how to ink a straight line with a brush if that's what you are looking for.

How many books are there in the wheel of time? I think one reason I've never read it it's because there's so many.... But I might be wrong. And I did read one book (that I can't find now and can't recall the name of) that might have been Robert Jordan. Not sure

Anyway the art on the cover is really nice, I think
