in love again...

yes... yes... yes... i'm in love!!! i'm in love with everyman!!! haha... it's not a typing error... everyman is written by philip roth... i'm about twenty pages in and i love the mind games that roth plays...

construction, brillant... language, simple yet powerful... here's a quote that i really love... 'There's no remaking reality. Just take it as it comes. Hold your ground and take it as it comes'... my gosh, based on this one line, i can write a whole freaking thesis! ideas of form, content, intertextuality, writing as a construct, all the lit theories, reader-writer relationship... i'm hyperventilating at the depth of that one statement la...

correction! I'M HAVING LITERARY ORGASM! haha!

harkens back to the undergraduate days where i worship the ground that philip roth walks on... he writes with such elegance and beauty... yes writing is an art and roth is a master at that! of course there was sidney, milton, shakespeare, jonson, mary shelley...

anyway, i am going to attempt to pick up reading again...

promise to self: an hour of reading a day keeps stupidity away. oh! throw in an hour of the history channel too... it's good tv! haha...
