Light reading, anyone?
I'm just kidding. This is the next book I will be attacking, whilst simultaneously reading Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood (which you can slyly see in the background of that picture in the green binding.).
Cat's Eye is compulsory reading for school. So far, I think it's brilliant. I love the way in which Atwood has incorporated time seamlessly. Atwood did a fantastic job on it. The plot is also very alluring - I'm trying to see where the book is taking me at the moment; the more pieces of information is getting unfurled, the deeper I'm falling in between the lines. Elaine's character is great too - she's one that I can relate with, despite the age in which she is telling the story from (frequent ages, may I add).
Miguel de Cervantes' "Don Quixote" was just something lying in my parents' reading shelf and I decided to pick it up. I promised myself I'd read more classics over the summer, and there is no way on earth I'm backing out of that promise.
Summer has been pretty busy - in fact, "summer" in academic reference hasn't even begun yet. As of Wednesday, I will supposedly be "free" to be lazy. That, of course, is hardly my intention this summer. I need to be 100% topped up on knowledge and culture. Lectures, museum exhibitions, summer schools, workshops, events of all shapes and sizes need to be attended to.
Perhaps it's time to buy a calendar soon? And maybe a gigantic pot of coffee whilst I'm at it.
