Laughter Through Tears

"One night, a thief breaks into the laboratory of Dr. Immanuel Margolis, who is persistently trying to end all the heartaches of humanity, and steals a medicine meant to treat his wife, who is a patient in a psychiatric hospital. Siblings Jonathan and Ella Margolis follow the thief and find themselves in the world of Babylon, a magical kingdom where sorcery and science, demons and machines, intermingle.

In a bold, original work of epic fantasy, which borrows motifs from Jewish, Babylonian, Sumerian and Accadian mythology and distills them into a new and exciting universe, Hagar Yanai tells the story of Jonathan and Ella, of the rebel Hillel ben-Shachar and of the heiress Nin-Urmuz, in their war for freedom, humanity and self-determination."

Text from the back cover. Impromptu translation by me. The book hasn't been translated into English, or any other language... yet. It should be, though.

I'm not supposed to be paying tuition, but my mother's signature has apparently not gone through yet. Meaning I still don't know whether I can take my exams or not, and they start next Tuesday.

Meanwhile I have to deal with two days in a row of organic chemistry at 8:00. I have yet to manage to wake up for the Tuesday class, but this week I am giving it my all even if I can't quite convince myself it's worth it.

The only good news is that the book I'm reading now is everything I've ever wanted OMG.
