 Murderous little world once our objects had gazes. Our lives
 Were fragile, the wind
 Could dash them away. Here lies the refugee breather
 Who drank a bowl of elsewhere.:::

One of these days i will have time to read again!

Didn’t Finish

1. Orlando - Virginia Woolf - Perhaps it was the edition but, this book was too much of a concptual literary work for me. I was annoyed by all the annotation. And the story which was starting out slowly didn’t intruige me enough to keep me reading and I just, put it aside.
   
2. CoinLockerBabies - Ryu Murakami - It was a sort of pollution, this story. It drew me in at first, untill i realised the author was not going to stop torturing his characters. And it has that quality that all pulp novels do, that you know exactly what is going to happen next. Long winded and in a hurry he took no time with his characters and one is never comfortable with them. everyone is hurting everyone is hurting. it is not a pleasant book to read an i guess i wasn’t in the mood to slog around in the dirt with them.
   
3. MobyDick - Herman Melville - I found it a remarkable book. until Ishmael started going on about whales for 200 pages. I would like very much to finish reading this book one day the most important quote was right at the beginning (Ocean)
   
4. Haroun and the sea of Stories - couldn’t finish it becauuse i found out it was supposed to be read as political commentary. that was a real turn-off
