i've started reading again.

and jeanette winterson, as always, spoke right to me:
"Everyone, at some time in their life, must choose whether to stay with a ready-made world that may be safe but which is also limiting, or to push forward, often past the frontiers of commonsense, into a personal place, unknown and untried."

hm! The End of the Affair was the last book I read, also from the national library. Have you seen the movie? The adaptation was very good as well, I heard (plus it's Ralph Fiennes, pantpantpant). I'm looking for the DVD and damn videoezy doesn't have it.

I also really liked J Winterson's Lighthousekeeping. Sigh, to write like that.

(oops. i only just saw this.)

i was barely into the fourth chapter when i lost it! but upon your recommendation, i shall go rent the vcd/dvd after i've read the whole book.

sometimes she writes too lustily for me but then that also reveals the depths her passion can take her. u know in Lighthousekeeping there's a Josiah Dark. I remember thinking 'wah. what a handsome name.'
