The first volume of Tsuge Tadao's quasi-autobiographical account of his life living on a river outside of Tokyo, on a homemade houseboat, translated and edited by Ryan Holmberg, of course.  Boat Life 1 brings readers 320 pages of manga plus a 27-page essay, "Garo Gone Fishin'", by Holmberg. Looks like a good read to slow down with after the holiday frenzy...
