I'm not sure how I'll respond to Elpheba then. :x I love court intrigue/rises to power, but dislike politics. There's somehow a line between the two and when that line becomes crossed, I lose interest. @_@;


re: Classics
Not last night but the night before I read, "Daddy Long Legs" for the first time. It is fabulous. I don't know how it's not more popular than it is. (It makes me cringe that the two main characters identify as "socialists" but even if I don't agree with their professed politics, I do at least agree with what they seemed to actually mean by it, based on their actual actions in the book.)

Oddly enough, I kept hearing about "Daddy Long Legs" by references in Japanese animation/comics. Several different references. So I guess it must be popular there?
