Beautiful books are irresistible
I’ve recently become obsessed with the Word Cloud Classics edition. I get quite confused with the name of the publisher though. It’s Canterbury Classics, or, as noted in Fully Booked’s page, Baker & Taylor Pub. The covers are simple. The title is surrounded by quotes from the book. And what's more, all the letters are impressed/debossed on the ( Read more... ) -
The Shelf That Was
Year 2013.
In which obsession took the majestic form of Richard Armitage.
Uhm... yeah, that's pretty much it. Haha. Okay, that's not all of it. Look, I got to at least sqeeze in a bit of time to read/listen to some books last year.
So here is my list of books read, in no particular order, last 2013.

The song is barely 3 minutes long and there are no lyrics other than the humming and the line “but he will never be back,” which you’ll hear at 2:04 of the song. I like how this song builds up, reminds me of Forbidden Lover - ( Read more... ) -
peering through a mist
I have just seen the LIVE IN PARIS. Watching it makes your heart cry, doesn't it? Anata is still the best . . . . Yesterday was exactly a year ago when I went and saw Laruku in Hong Kong. Just like this, all of it feels like yesterday. The music doesn't really fade, does it? It's a beautiful beautiful memory. Seeing those people crying, getting ( Read more... ) -
without a doubt, the rainbow waits at the end
I’m putting all my spite behind me. I get tired of things easily. Seriously. Hahaha
Sorry for my sudden outburst last week. I had locked that post now -just for me to see- because I don’t want to bother my flist with it. It was due to stress at work. I will be transferred to another department, sort of -well, more like, I’ll be given a different ( Read more... ) -
Enough twittering and facebook for me today
Because I love this person's prose.... Strange that I find reading this comforting.
Excerpt from Banana Yoshimoto's Kitchen:
The place I like best in the world is the kitchen. No matter where it is, no matter what kind, if it’s a kitchen, if it’s a place where they make food, it’s fine with me. Ideally it should be well broken in. Lots of tea towels ( Read more... )
