# 010 Of books and writings

Happy World Book Day, everyone! Or rather, belated greetings!
In accordance with WBD, I've made a sort of resolution : To start reading the books that I have neglected since forever in favour of newer ones like my current read. Examples of books that have been collecting the cobwebs include The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck, The Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens (I know, I know..) and Cry, The Beloved Country by Alan Paton. I hope writing it down in black and white, even if it IS virtually, helps.
Am enjoying Kafka On The Shore by Haruki Murakami, although I find that its a little weird so far.. but that was rather expected. All those twists and turns, and not knowing what to expect at the next corner.. But, Michelle told me it was a good read and I have the highest regard for her opinion and taste. Besides, what's life without a little spice and variety in it?
I was just thinking, it's been quite a while since I've written anything (blogging dooesn't count). Am getting a little worried. Is this just a overdose of writer's block or the absolute end to my scribbles??? I am rather inclined to think it's the former, coupled with a healthy dose of laziness and an uncreative, inactive mind. Need to shift those gears into action again. I can already hear the low 'whirr' of the Mind. Toodles!
CURRENT :
  • READ - KAFKA ON THE SHORE by HARUKI MURAKAMI
  • MUSIC - SOUND OF SILENCE by NATURE
