A Mission Statement.
What I love most about summer is the free time. Granted, this year there is substantially less of it, but I plan to make use of it in the best way possible: by reading!
It’s true, I love to read. I also love the feeling that comes after the finish of a very good book, where you can just pause inwardly for a moment and think. I find that most of my best thoughts come from books.
My problem is that I tend to forget these brilliant photons of thought, leaving enough trace to be hauntingly familiar but not to remembered.
I have certain things I have to read: Vietnamese books, Candide by Voltaire, but at the end of the days they’re all really good books (i hope) and I hope to read them all.
30 books. Maybe more.
Starting with ‘Let the Great World Spin’ by Colum Mcann. It’s supposed to be the writing zenith of our era; Mcann the next F. Scott Fitzgerald.
We’ll see.
