Not even 12 hours into my resolution posting do I break one! I guess it’s my own fault for walking into the bookstore but as I mentioned in my previous post, my “don’t buy it” will power is futile when it comes to wine books. As, some of you may also know I am an avid comic book fan….
So, when I found a wine book that comes in comic book form, for a split-second my body went into a sort of comatose state. This was quickly followed by the “don’t buy it, walk away” angel on one shoulder being smashed with a sledge hammer by the “BUY IT NOW” little devil on the other shoulder. At such speed did this happen that I had my money out and was paying for the books before I’d even grabbed them off the shelf.
The Drops of God - Tadashi Agi & Shu Okimoto
I’ve only heard of The Drops of God, it’s a manga comic (Japanese) and from what I remember, about a sommelier of some sorts, think he might be a detective. Regardless, I now have them in my possession and will be reviewing them shortly…stay tuned.
Suffice to say Chaucer’s Book Store on upper State St has come up trumps once again, they are an amazing local book shop and if you don’t know them and live in Santa Barbara, what is wrong with you!?…adding to that, I won’t be walking in there any time soon…that is to say, until I get through my list.
