listen to jazz and classical more often
Chopin

Recently I discovered Frédéric Chopin’s sublime music. I cant quite put it into words… its effect subsequently led me to start the piano once again (once the piano was anathema to me, but my childhood has faded into the past in this respect.) Classical was once a stranger to me – it doesn’t exactly have any burning presence in the youth’s zeitgeist :) Nevertheless I am very glad to have found it…

Read 50 books by the end of 2007 (read all 2 entries…)
Colourful Literature

The slow river of pages: divided into those read – and those unopened, blank, still yet to be coloured by the psyche.

The spectrum as it stands:

1 Wuthuring Heights – Emily Bronte
2 The Catchers in the Rye – J.D. Salinger
3 The Great Gatsby – F. Scott Fitzgerald
4 In Search of Schrodinger’s cat – John Gribbon
5 The Old Man and the Sea – Ernest Hemmingway
6 The God Delusion – Richard Dawkins
7 Sophie’s World – Jostein Gaarder
8 A Short History of Nearly Everything – Bill Bryson
9 The Prince – Niccolò Machiavelli
10 1984 – George Orwell
11 Animal Farm – George Orwell
12 The Nature of Time – G.J. Whitrow

...and the unfinished “A Portrait of the Artisit as a Young Man” by James Joyce is still in the works.

backpack through Europe
“The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.”

Coincidentally, it so happens that at the same time that I shall be detatching myself culturally, some friends of mine will also be traversing the great continent; interesting times.
