You are a most impressive reader! Where do you find the time? Aren't you a graduate student, Dark Muse? If you don't mind my asking, what are you studying? (Not that you must be studying to be a voracious reader!)
Ever since highschool I started the habbit of reading mutlipe books at once it freaks other people out how many books I read at a time. I am acutally an Undergrad and right now I am done for the summer becasue I never take summer classess. Well not surpersnisly I am studying English. I want be a profressional writer.
Cool! I hope you succeed. I feel you will, because if you write from the heart, then in my view, you have succeeded; and I think the things you write are good. But I hope you feel that you have attained you goal, in whatever manner is important to you.
Thank you
Oh good--nothing I've read (so I can;t be evil about it) though almost did The Good Earth--what Pearl S. Buck I have read was from The Saint Mystery Magazine back in the 60s and I remember liking it. It's packed in a box in my library for now until I get another bookcase someyear.
I've read Invisible Man (a rather difficult read in parts) and The Good Earth (a great and enjoyable read). Let me know what you think of those books when you're done. I think both are true American classics.
I will let you know when I do get about to reading them
Enjoy the books Muse:) I've picked up quite a few myself lately, but they've been more of the "fluff" reading variety. Entertaining, but there's nothing too enlightening about them;)
