  • Virgina Woolf Moments of Being – A sketch of the past

    Well, apart that I was proud that I could read the text in 4 hours I derived no more pleasure out of that than that. There a few instances were I found great delight in reading her, and that was when she got into a sort of attrition with her father in a boat, opinions…

  • Robert Graves: Goodbye to all that.

    Second half of the book. Incredible, I went through the whole book in expectation of some sort of outrage from part of Graves in regards to the title.

  • Incredible, I finished my first e-book, I am now a full member of the cyber world! Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs. The book is a myriad of emotions uneasily untangled. One can discern several traces of Plato’s, The Apology and even Charlotte Brontí« Jane Eyre. This is the first…
