lately, i've been looking to literature to stimulate my inquisitive mind.
i love being swept away into another time and place, and i do believe that this transportation is going to help me become a better writer in turn.
in the past few weeks, i have immersed myself in the pages of the catcher in the rye by j. d. salinger and breakfast at tiffany's by truman capote.
next to capture me will be the picture of dorian gray by oscar wilde, which i'll begin on the bus ride home.
furthermore, i have recently aquired the outsider by albert camus, and animal farm by george orwell - both of which will soon follow wilde. i also plan to re-visit the little prince by antoine de saint exupery, and hopefully i'll feel all the magic i felt when i first read it once more. in addition, today i bought the great gatsby by f. scott fitzgerald again, which i had stupidly sold after i was finished with it in english lit, and then sorely missed as a consequence.
i've adopted someone i know's habit of feeling an extreme need to buy every book i read, but i enjoy watching my collection grow.
i am getting a little excited about the prospect of all these new ideas streaming into my thoughts as i scan through chapter and verse.
^^ eep.
