| My newly acquired copies of Basho's The Narrow Road to the Deep North and Other Travel Sketches, and On Love and Barley. I borrowed Teacher Man and The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam from mum this Christmas. |
It is already the 13th of January, and this is my very first blog post for the year 2017. Quite a bit has been happening for the past couple of weeks, and I have been too swamped with school work and family matters to even remember I have a blog!!
I did, in between, recall to deal myself a card and I came up with Thoreau's essay on Civil Disobedience. However, as it was too long for me to read that weekend, I have as yet to complete it. Right now I am seated in my room, feeling relaxed and excited about our slightly long weekend as our State celebrates its harvest festival. I still have a lot of work to complete over the next three days, but for now I want to catch-up with what I've missed in the blogosphere over the past many days.
I had wanted to have separate opening posts for the read-alongs for Paradise Lost and The Lord of the Rings. But since my last appearance I have had a few more folk showing interest here, and I figure it might just be a waste of time and space for everyone involved if I did this all over again. I've decided to link up to all read-along participants in my side-bar though!
Hmmm...I feel I ought to say more after having disappeared for such a long while....
But I can't.
So I shall stop here hoping that you're all having a lovely new year so far!^_^
