I was totally surprised when today while taking books from the library I found "Howl's Moving Castle" by Diana Wynne Jones(1986)...
Why isn't there a reference to the book.
I started reading it as soon as I left the library, and so far it'sd even better...it explains many things the anime didn't have time to show :P

Dude, I loved this book so much when I was a little kid. I found it in the library one day and read the entire thing when I was like 8-9. I reread it like three times too.

Is the anime anything like the book? Because if it is then I'm definitely gonna watch it

Well you could say the anime is like a "resume" of the book. I recommend you watch it, I believe you won't be sorry ;) Of course no adaptation can be as great as its original, so prepare for many loses and missed things.
(you're still in advantage since you read the book)

Yeah, after read the book and re-watch, it help me to understand the story. But if I read the book first, I'm not sure I could understand the book since the story is... so jumpy.

oh man when I read the book (it was years after I've seen the anime) I was like : why the hell they didn't animate so many things?
the book has a LOT more to offer than the anime imo. I love both but the book is just another whole world that u can get lost in it.
