vagaries & carapaces
Another year, another twelve months of convincing myself that I can read as much as I like, if only I put my mind to it. (H a h) I have probably read as much online fiction as I have published ones last year, if not more, and I guess I really shouldn’t dismiss that. A piece of fiction is important to me as long as it had some impact.
So I don’t know what’s it going to be this year. I haven’t even written out my new year’s resolutions yet and January is almost over. What do I hope to get out of reading this year?
- Don’t feel obligated to read all those books that have been on my numerous to-read lists simply because they are “classics”
- Learn to read and appreciate poetry
- Read the books in my possession ((ugh srsly stop letting them gather dust))
- Jeanette Winterson, Chuck Palahniuk, Michael Ondaatje, Margaret Atwood
- 多读点中文（小说，散文，王道什么的都可以）
- Surpass my tally for last year (14)
wasn’t expecting much and there weren’t that many highlights, but at least it was an easy read? it’s alright enough for me to want to borrow the sequel, even though i vaguely remember watching the movie adaptation.
read this in pretty much one sitting this afternoon because i overslept for uni and hiding out in my local library seemed like a great idea. i was really anxious about the last part because having read the other boleyn girl, i wasn’t sure whether this book was going to end on a good note while catalina was still in power or let it all go downhill.
