Books in Shinjuku

Yesterday we went into Shinjuku to go to the Kinokuniya bookstore. The store was pretty kewl - having 7 floors and all. 7 floors!!! You'd think with one whole floor devoted to foreign language books, there would be a pretty large sci-fi collection. Alas, there were only 2 shelves of English sci-fi. :( However, I did get "Ender's Game", by Orson Scott Card, which neither of us has read, so that's something. We are going to try Amazon.co.jp for English books shipped in Japan. They are pretty cheap, and have lesser-known authors like George Turner ("Drowning Towers"). On the way home we picked up some groceries and the veggie-man gave us 3 free tomatoes. Pretty nice. I made eggplant hot-pot for dinner, which was very yummy, especially with the tomatoes :D. There is a pic on deviantart (testing out the digicam) :D.

Toby is sick again today. I hope he can pull it together for our visit with Ken. If anyone has any home-remedy advice for flu-like symptoms, now would be a good time :*(.
