Shadows of Gypsy's Books: March 2009
http://shadowsofgypsysbooks.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Shadows of Gypsy's Books. Monday, 30 March 2009. The Great Gatsby", by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I wasn't looking forward to reading this, I'm not sure why. But it's been both interesting and enjoyable a read. That quite surprised me. In the beginning it's slow paced, it doesn't get mysterious until the second or third chapter. But at a point suddenly everything happens. Not much more I can add. Wednesday, 25 March 2009. Cocktails and Camels", by Jacqueline Cooper. Witty, sarcastic, honest, and very true.

Shadows of Gypsy's Books: "The Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man" By James Joyce
http://shadowsofgypsysbooks.blogspot.com/2009/03/portrait-of-artist-as-young-man-by.html
Shadows of Gypsy's Books. Monday, 9 March 2009. The Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man" By James Joyce. A mouthful, the title. And a handful, the book itself. There are five chapters, sometimes rapidly, sometimes slowly watching little Stephen grow up. Not, like traditional novels, in third person, objectively, or even in first person, but basically Joyce shows us the inside of Stephen's mind. What he thinks, why he thinks it. Glad I finished it.

Shadows of Gypsy's Books: February 2009
http://shadowsofgypsysbooks.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Shadows of Gypsy's Books. Saturday, 28 February 2009. Answered Prayers", by Danielle Steel. It's a real Danielle Steel novel, this one. It starts out with a couple of characters, all miserable and blue up to a point. Or very good, but they get faced with problems. And then it ends all "Happily ever after"ish. I think it's a good read, generally, if you're into this kind of story. Quick, too. But maybe that's because I'm a quick reader? Monday, 16 February 2009. Ghosts" - Hendrik Ibsen (1881).

Shadows of Gypsy's Books: Heart Of Darkness, by Joseph Conrad
http://shadowsofgypsysbooks.blogspot.com/2009/03/heart-of-darkness-by-joseph-conrad.html
Shadows of Gypsy's Books. Sunday, 22 March 2009. Heart Of Darkness, by Joseph Conrad. I am very very torn about this one, I don't have the vaguest idea whether or not I should like it. Basically because it's all basic speculation when there are important questions concerned. It's being told like a boxed story, a narrator telling of Marlow, who begins, in turn, to tell his story; Marlow visiting Africa for a certain Company. Whether he justifies them or not, at least Conrad points out all these flaws.

Shadows of Gypsy's Books: April 2009
http://shadowsofgypsysbooks.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Shadows of Gypsy's Books. Monday, 27 April 2009. Death of a Salesman", by Arthur Miller. I think I prefer this one to "All my Sons," also by Miller. Yet still, it was not a very enjoyable read. Plays are meant to be acted out, and no matter how wildly my imagination is, it can never recreate in my inner eye how it's supposed to look. But then. I will never understand cheating, so yeah. It definitely got me thinking. Thursday, 9 April 2009. Mrs Dalloway, by Virginia Woolf. I thought I was going to dislike...

CTYI | Don't Panic!
https://anonomousangel.wordpress.com/2013/08/07/ctyi
August 7, 2013. 8212; anonomousangel @ 3:11 am. Okay so thanks to a couple of people mentioning an article that was on thejournal.ie ( here. About CTYI, the fact that I reread a post Tommy wrote about it quite a while ago ( here. And the flurry of comments that it inspired I’ve been thinking about it a bit this evening, which is something I don’t do that often. And thinking turned into talking to Ais and now I’m blogging cuz she’s busy reading a book. 1) My first point is definitely that CTYI was amazing...

C25K- Update | Don't Panic!
https://anonomousangel.wordpress.com/2013/08/24/c25k-update
August 24, 2013. 8212; anonomousangel @ 1:33 am. Okay so I’m into the 6th week of the Couch to 5k program. I have to say that’s probably further than I thought I would get, especially because week 5 ends with a 20 run, the first time there’s no walking, and it’s a fairly long time considering how much I struggled with 60 seconds in week 1. 1 Comment ».
