A Happy World Book Day

.... on the 23rd of April 2012 (also the day Shakespeare's birthday is celebrated, and this year is his 448th!).

So... I went out and bought myself two books: Defining Moments in Books; the greatest books, writers, characters, passages and events that shook the literary world and a novel by Japanese author Junichiro Tanizaki, Some Prefer Nettles.

The first because I know I will not be able to read all the wonderful books ever written, and this will give me the gist of it all. The second because I am still in my Japanophile phase...
