Well,
As I don't really have anything much to do except wait, and since the weather does not really encourage much outdoor exploration, I have set myself onto something that I really enjoy. reading.
So, I have been reading for the past few days. Not that I ever really stopped reading. But now, I read almost all day. I have finished half of "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy....
read The Great Gatsby
reading short stories by Jeffrey Archer, short stories that won the O'henry prize. I also have a bunch of e-books that I intend to read soon. I found a lot of them on www.manybooks.net where you can find a lot of books that were published in the 1920's or earlier as they don't really have much of a copyright problem. I also found a website called www.fictionlib.ru that has some nice books.
I was discussing books with this other friend, who happens to be an English Literature major, and I realized that there were a lot of books that I had read as a child. But I hadn't read read the books. I had read a lot of them without really appreciating them. And the more he analyzed some books, the more I felt I should read those again. in fact, any book that I haven't read in at least the past 3 years should be fair game.
so, right now, I am into the classics. Lets see how much I can read:)
