Readers, whether or not you are still there (or ever were), I hope that you have enough interest to take a look at a second blog by me.

i’m a little bit behind . . .

Posted in Uncategorized on March 13th, 2008 and

 All right, I admit it, I am a little bit behind on what I said that I would do.

I have barely got my nose stuck into Animal Farm. But don’t blame me! Blame the friend who let me borrow Stephanie Meyer’s Eclipse since its a book that I’ve been trying to get my hands on and I really wanted to read just after finishing New Moon.

And, as another plus, I have recently discovered my new favorite song of all songs, of all time. It’s “Hysteria” by Muse. And trust me, they really are a muse — I’ve written over 6,000 more words on my story while listening to it, and it’s almost at the top of my “Most Listened To” playlists on iTunes after only 24 hours.

So, just an update — I’ll get stuck into Animal Farm as soon as I finish Eclipse. Just give me another day or two — oh, and that review may not be written up for a while since I have decided to expand it into a research paper involving both novels (1984 and Animal Farm) and one or two books of George Orwell’s essays (neither of which I have got my hands on yet).

Oh well . . . sometimes, I’m far too ambitious for my own good.
