His short stories are great too and I found 'Resurrection' very affecting at the time. Probably giving the impression I've read a lot. I haven't. I just like Rusian Literature.<BR/><BR/>It's hard to have the time now to do that amount of reading, or practising ...or lots of things with that amount of intensity.<BR/><BR/>Trains; the last vestiges of the student life.<BR/><BR/>On the bag, I do try to keep it light, hence the two vol W&P and sometimes it gets ditched for music or other stuff.<BR/><BR/>I was really pleased that tutee has clearly realised that he must read proper stuff.

In 2008 I only had one new year's resolution, to finally read Anna Karenina (declared the most perfect novel ever written, except I can't remember who declared this...) yet I still didn't get round to it. It may be that if I hadn't resolved to read it, I would have.<BR/><BR/>No resolutions this year, lol.<BR/><BR/>I'm now imagining you with a Mary Poppins type bag, bigger on the inside.madame evangelistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15993391171000966131noreply@blogger.com
