24 Hours left till I can see The Dark Knight Rises with my nephews and nieces! Am I an awesome uncle or what?
-
Going to get a Kindle Touch soon!
-
I'm back! Hopefully I'll pop in more frequently! Also, I finished my book
-
Finished Gibbon. Humbled by the sheer size! Will read the entire unabridged version some day.
-
Gibbon's getting harder to read towards the end. There're far too many names swishing past me right now. But I think this part needs more effort from the reader, something I have to spare at a later juncture for the reread.
-
Gibbon my man, I salute you. I'm through volume one and almost done with volume two. This is a book everyone must read!

Since I haven't been able to read anything for quite some time (weeks, possibly) I'm picking up Les Miserables after a long time. It's my favourite book but I'm sorry to say I've only read the abridged Penguin edition until now. Now I'm picking up the Wordsworth Classics edition (in 2 volumes). Jean Valjean lives!

I am a 24 year old grandfather. (My niece gave birth to a girl this morning, hey that counts doesn't it?!)

Diving into the Dark Tower series finally!!
-
Ah I read the first "chapter" of the first book. Got confused, I'll return to it some other day I think. For some reason, although I admire King, I have never enjoyed a book of his. Something about his writing style doesn't appeal to me. I didn't like Cujo either. I finished the book and went, "Wait, so it was just a rabid dog?"

I envy my sister who has just discovered the joy of reading at the "young" age of 18. She hasn't read The Wizard of Oz, Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, Heidi, The Lord of the Rings, Oliver Twist, Dracula or anything else except the Harry Potter books and the Hobbit. I really do envy her. I can't wait to see her the expression on her face when she finally reads Terry Pratchett either. Lucky her. Yes I'm being the good elder brother by trying to tell her what to read.

Been inactive and havent read books for a long time. Just got fired so I hope to change all of that by reading more and posting more. ofc writing more too.

Work isn't going as planned. I pray for the strength to learn how to work better. Have a presentation to make on friday, kinda scared.
-
It's a lazy and cloudy day. Feel sad for no real reason, especially when I have cause for joy.
-
I need help controlling my book-buying urges! TBR is already >100 book high
-
Submitted my manuscript for the first time! To HarperCollins India!
-
I'm glad I decided to rewrite my book word for word. It's at 45% now and looking gooooood! I can't wait to be done so I can submit it and start work on another story.

It's fun to listen to an audiobook when taking a break from studying and from reading War and Peace. War is one of my favourite subjects! I wish I had discovered this much earlier so I could have taken up war studies!
