Not Absent
June 11, 2011
Books on my radar, yet abandoned to a certain extent:
The Black Book of Communism – a never ending reading not because of the page count, but due to the negative state it inflicts after just a few pages. I was only eleven when the communist regime fell. Readings on this subject help me attach proper tags to my memories, but they are not very healthy. Still, I prefer to know.
Dear Theo – a poor edition. I certainly hope to be constantly drawn back to reading the book by the complexity within.
The Noonday Demon – although there is doubt on why I purchased this book. These sort of subjects are scrutinized either for the need to cement my beliefs, either for the opposite. They stand against my theories and the need to scrutinize the other side is pushing me towards such a lecture.
Report on Solitude – this one is an unfinished reading and will, most likely, stay this way.
The culture sections of The Economist, or Slate, don’t count here, do they?
I am still to form an opinion on all of the above.
It would be good to hear from you on your literary endeavors, being them reading or writing. Email me at: anca@literaryagenda.com
