The last few weeks have been difficult. And to make matters worse, I haven't been reading nearly enough. Reading is one of the few comforts, particularly at this moment of uncertainty and pandemic-related chaos. I'm hoping to delve into Sei Shonagon's famous collection of anecdotes and musings soon, while also having time to enjoy a French sci-fi comic book series. Augustine's Confessions was not quite working for me, possibly due to it being more of a spiritual conversion narrative rather than an autobiography. I still have to consider tackling classics like Moby Dick and the complete translation of Tale of Genji, as well as a plethora of other novels. Indeed, Delany's Empire Star has been on the list as I need to continue reading science fiction. So, in our solitude, let us try to find solace in the company of literature. Less screen time, fewer obsessive "research" pursuits, and more reading.
