Into the Parisian Underworld: May 2008
http://intotheparisianunderworld.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Into the parisian underworld. Saturday, May 3, 2008. I finished the Cosette section awhile ago, but I haven't had internet access. So, here were my impressions of the section, but they're definitely not super-fresh. :). Book Two almost broke my heart; in fact, I cried a lot and wished horrible things at the Thenardiers. Hugo writes scenes with a perfect simplicity that makes what's going on even worse, like this passage early on:. Don't you just want to rush upstairs and grab the poor baby? Oddly enough,...

Authentic - Writing & Photography by Sally Draper: October 2008
http://sallydraper.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, 25 October 2008. I've been thinking a lot about my favourite book today (although technically it's a poem). It's called 'Mental Fight' by Ben Okri, a Nigerian writer. Not only does it encapsulate most of my deep-set principles, his poem is so moving and inspiring that even at my lowest it is enough to restore my faith in the world. Try it out for yourself. Here's an extract. Will you be at the harvest,. Among the gatherers of new fruits? Then you must begin today to remake. To clean our eyes,.

Authentic - Writing & Photography by Sally Draper: Just Finished - House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski
http://sallydraper.blogspot.com/2009/02/just-finished-house-of-leaves-by-mark-z.html
Tuesday, 3 February 2009. Just Finished - House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski. In all, I enjoyed this book, and I'm glad I read it. But I definitely get the impression that it is a fashionable book, and this is where it draws much of its acclaim. That said, it is not without artistic merit. Parts were exceptionally well written and purely for thinking outside the box, Danielewski deserves 10 out of 10. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A glimpse of me. View my complete profile.

http://sallydraper.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 24 February 2009. Just Finished - The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides. In all honesty I found The Virgin Suicides. I really wanted to love this book, and perhaps I have missed the point as so many other reviews have given it considerable acclaim, but I cannot deny the fact that it didn't match my hopes in reality. That said, there were some beautiful paragraphs, and while I maybe slightly disappointed, that doesn't prevent me from appreciating it as a simple, wistful and eloquent book.

Wednesday, 21 January 2009. Just finished - A Working Girl Can't Win by Deborah Garrison. She Thinks of Him on Her Birthday. It's still winter,. And still I don't know you.

To be one once. Again I count. Your daughters and find myself in the middle,. The waist of the hourglass,. Endlessly passed through and passed through.
