the shards of narsil

finally, i restarted my reading of the lord of the rings - almost five years since i got the back-breaker of a book from kino,

i don't really know what happened between 2003 and 2007, i don't have an inkling of what made me forget about reading it,

maybe i didn't have time - come to think of it, this week was the first week in two years that i had a break of more than 3 days consecutively

gosh, get a life man, you say in your heart

i hear you - crystal, are your words in my ear,

anyway, hah, this is not a literary lament - although my undernourished vocab worries me (i had to refer to the dictionary several times while reading up to page 319)

i just realise that i've read less than 10 books since 2003 - man..this has got to change,

the sad thing is, i've continued to buy them, not many, but at a rate of almost once a month, only for them to yellow and their spines wither not from the frequent of touch, but from the lack of it,

why am i writing this today, and only now?

have you not been paying attention? i suddenly have more down-time, although i'm sure this period, its lenght will be short-lived,

sorry for wasting two minutes of your life reading this,  ¶ 8:06 pm
