49.Rashomon and Seventeen Other Stories by Akutagawa Ryunosuke translated by Jay Rubin.
Prompted to read this after reading Patient X by David Peace.
An interesting selection of modernist stories both autobiographical, the dissolving of the fourth wall and with elements of Poe.
Also the title story and In a Bamboo Grove were the source material for the film Rashomon by Kurosawa.
49.5 The Captain America Omnibus Vol 1 by Jack Kirby, Stan Lee and Joe Sinnott.
The rejuvenation of CA into the 1960‘s Marvel Universe. Visual action and escapism abounds within.
