That's so weird, I had this strange hankering to play Year of the Dragon, so I booted up my PS1 just a few hours ago. It only took me three hours to beat through the second world (not all eggs or gems, but does include Sparxx levels and speedways, and I've got like 60 eggs)

When Did You Start Reading Manga/Books: I've been obsessed with reading since the day I learned how. I started reading manga in middle school when I ran out of other books in the library and decided to turn to graphic novels--it was the art style of Fruits Basket that jumped out to me the most, so that's the one I picked. Didn't learn it was from Japan until after I started reading it.
Worst Manga/Book You've Read: Heart of Darkness was awful. I was supposed to read it for school, but I don't think I ever actually finished it.
