Saint Young Men 1

I‘ve read only 23 books this year, most of them the Hercule Poirot Mysteries as I was planning on working through all of them this year.

As far as I am able to discern, my totals are as follows:

Black - 0%
Indigenous - 0%
NB POC - 3%
LGBTQIA - 1%

As you can see- my stats are straight 👏 up 👏 garbo 👏
I‘m going to use this #intergrateyourshelf to work on it- thanks for the opportunity!

ChasingOm, Emilymdxn

ChasingOm Glad you‘re joining us! (I hope you can still reach your Agatha Christie goal too though!) 4y

Coueriamb @ChasingOm I‘m definitely going to try to balance both! Thanks again for organizing this 4y

Emilymdxn Good luck! And good luck with the poirot also! 4y

Coueriamb @Emilymdxn Thanks so much- for encouragement and organizing this! 4y

so-so

I gave volumes 1 and 2 to my husband for Christmas. He has just now gotten around to reading them. His entire review was "bof" and that I need not buy the next volumes.

twohectobooks Too bad! That‘s such a great premise. 6y

tournevis @twohectobooks I would not put so great a weight on his opinon. It's just not his thing. 6y

My better half Kenji was almost peeing himself laughing while reading this manga in the doctor's waiting room with me just now. Saint Young Men, by a female manga artist, features Jesus Christ and Buddha living together as roommates in Tokyo, and has been translated into many other languages but not English! Why? The manga artist felt Americans would be offended by her humorous treatment of you-know-who. :(

Sue Oh, I would love to read this!! 8y

DiruVamp That. Sounds. Amazing. I would totally read that! 8y

shawnmooney @sue @DiruVamp How's your Japanese? :) It's also been translated into Chinese, French, Italian and Spanish. 8y

shawnmooney Wikipedia taught me all this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Young_Men 8y

Sue @shawnmooney Sadly, everything but my English sucks. 8y

Ange44 A Japanese co-worker of mine has told me about this one and it sounds amazing! I really wish it was translated into English. 8y

DiruVamp @shawnmooney I know a few Japanese words here and there but I am determined to learn the language! 8y

Dogearedcopy I'll have to see if I can get it in French! Though my French is mediocre at best, it occurs to me that this would be a great way to brush up! 8y

Dogearedcopy Score! I just ordered a French translation of a Japanese manga from a bookseller in the UK; and am having it shipped to the US! 😄 8y
