An Incomplete Picture

Wed Feb 13, 2008, 7:25 AM
  • Mood: Artistic
  • Listening to: Club Asia 97.2
  • Reading: Your lit.
  • Drinking: Indian tea
My parents have been back for over a week now. Part of me feels like they never left, but my siblings and I have experienced so much due to their temporary absence. I feel like I'm taking a break from being responsible.

It's wonderful having them back.

Not long to go until I run out of teenage years.

And only days or perhaps a week or two after that, I'll be an aunt again.


I'm unwell again; I have karate competitions coming up so I can't afford to be like this.

And DEADLINES! So many deadlines that I haven't started working for yet!




But, on an artistic note, I've taken part in the Lit Crit Contest. Why not, eh? :) Still got until midnight tonight in case any of you want to get an entry in (maximum of five). Here's the news link. [link]

Also, I'd like to feature a poem. I don't have a sub so I can't do those pretty thumb things, so I'll just have to make do with a simple link.

'for girls who...' by ~sugar-ruby-butterfly

I've only recently starting watching this deviant. I find her style really interesting and often very evocative. I urge you to view her gallery; you'll find something that speaks to you.

AND before you think you got away with it, it'd be really really awesome if you guys could also feature a piece of literature in your journals. It's part of 'Lets Get Lit' which you can read about in this journal by ^StJoan [link]

Spread the word. :)

I'll have to find someone first :XD: - I haven't had much time to look around - even when talking in one of the chat things I'm still trying to do about two other things at the same time (Homework, drawing, other conversations, writing etc.) However, I have an ICT lesson tomorrow...

All the while they were talking the new morality
Her eyes explored me.
And when I arose to go
Her fingers were like the tissue
Of a Japanese paper napkin.

The Encounter, Ezra Pound.

The ever growing reading List:

1. Lajja, Taslima Nasrin

Really couldn't get into it. I understand the points she's trying to make, however, it's much less a story than it is pages and pages of bullet points, paraphrased from news articles. Put it down before I was a third of the way through.

2. Never Let Me Go, Kazuo Ishiguro

Absolutely loved this one! I really appreciate how he doesn't explain his world, but lets it unfurl itself as the book progresses. A stunner, seriously.

3. Life of Pi, Yann Martel

I really enjoyed the way this book was structured. Very well thought out. For me, it was like a much more entertaining and better edited Robinson Crusoe, only without a deserted island. Couldn't put it down!

4. On Beauty, Zadie Smith

I wish I were Zadie Smith.

5. The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini

It was really hard not to cry with this one. A painful tale of regret and guilt.

6. The Memory Keeper's Daughter, Kim Edwards

The plot was good but I think it was just a bit of a sloppy read. The characters were so stereotypical at times and the male viewpoints were so effeminate. I think in general, Edwards didn't work her characters effectively enough. It was just her voice over and over and over..

7. Yellow Dog, Martin Amis

8. One Night at the Call Centre, Chetan Bhagat (thanks ~nascent-sirocco!)

I was really surprised by this book. The characters were very, very Indian -- I didn't expect it to come across as strongly as it did. The story itself was actually quite interesting. Even a touch of deconstruction and all.

9. Dr Thorne, Anthony Trollope

10. A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens

11. White Noise, Don Dellilo

12. The Family, Mario Puzo

13. Persuasion, Jane Austen

Loved it, of course.

14. A Passage to India, E. M. Forster

15. The Blind Assassin, Margaret Atwood

16. Shirley, Charlotte Brontë

Slow to start, but a gripping read for the most part. I wanted more romance at the end, though!

17. The Professor, Charlotte Brontë

Oh man, the ending SUCKED.

18. Agnes Grey, Anne Brontë

Tame, but kinda sweet. A little too didactic for me, perhaps.

19. Lady Chatterley's Lover, D. H. Lawrence.

20. A Thousand Splendid Suns, Khaled Hosseini.

I think this was even better than The Kite Runner.

21. Metamorphosis and Other Stories, Kafka.
