I have to get offline within the next minute so I'll make this quick. Some of you may have noticed that I miswrote the title of a book in my last entry. It's The Dream of Scipio, not I Dream of Scipio. I went back and edited the entry, though I don't know if it matters. It's actually a pretty funny mistake. I think I was unconsciously thinking of the song "I Dream of Jeanie" (spelling of name uncertain). Anyway, having read past the first ten pages now, even unknowingly associating this book with an old sappy romantic song is simply hilarious.
Unlike my initial assessment, I think I'll like it after all, though I'm not sure if I really understand any of the characters. But well, Narayan's The English Teacher is far more amusing at the moment. I'll post up some quotes soon. (Goal: To read every Malgudi book by the end of the summer. ^_^)
Oh, and I made a very shoujo wallpaper for Naruto. >_< I shouid be shot. It has bubbles and sparkles, with Haku (the utlimate bishounen) as the featured character. Don't kill me.
...Tari
