The Blind Assassin
I finally finished reading a 4cm thick English novel - The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood. I'll talk about it in the 'Reading' section. Can't believe that I could read such a big novel while busy with my work. Actually, I've been reading an English book and a Chinese book at the same time. While I was reading The Blind Assassin, I have already finished 2 Chinese books - 'Reading the history from wars' & 'Murakami Haruki, Kawai Hayao ni aini iku' & started reading 'Monogatari Japan'. Well, so called Chinese books, all of them are written by Japanese writers!
It's difficult to explain why I like Japanese literature so much. If you ask me who are my favourite writers, I'll say Murakami Haruki, Banana Yoshimoto, Kazuo Ishiguro (English writer though)... of course I love Alexander Pushkin, but it seems that I'm indeed attached to Japanese writers. However, I don't have the incentive to improve my Japanese. It's a pity that I cannot read the Original Japanese versions.
A bit tired today, though not busy. Reason: having nightmares for 2 consecutive nights. Very terrible. I dreamt of a woman who had her face cut off, covered with bandages & blood, blood everywhere, saw hands without fingers, just a round ball... woke up in the middle of the night. Terrible...
