I will try to write something about religion soon. It's such a strange thing for me to even think about.

Thanks, but I haven't even had the time to read any of my own books, let alone other people's. It's just been books for school, and more books for school, and more books for school, and more books for school... At least I'm an English major, though, and some of them are actually pretty cool, and not like, business or biology or whatever.

Yeah, Hesse is the only author Rui likes. Rui doesn't like to read anything, except for Hesse. Totally agreed on the spirituality in both cases.
