As if my
present hectic activities have not been enough to rob my reading and blogging
time, I have got bronchitis since last week that caused me to take two days
sick leave! Well…maybe it’s my body giving me signal to slow a bit down. But
the good news is, I had some relaxed moments during my rest to savour another
Zola J
for August Naturalism! There’ll always time for Zola!...
Anyway, #LitMoveRC
is entering its eighth month. The linky for August Naturalism is already
up, you can link up your posts until September 15th.
Now I am
curious…
Which month or movement was your biggest
fail?
For me, it’s
last month’s Realism. I was excited to have another Henry James, The Golden Bowl, for this movement. However,
before getting through the first 50 pages, I got so bored with it that I finally
gave up and put it down after about page 90s. The dialogs were dense with hidden
meanings in words and in gesture that puzzled me. So, I picked my second choice
for Realism: Balzac’s Père Goriot, and
I loved it so much! Pity, I didn’t have time to review it before the bronchitis
overtook me.
Well, what
about you? I hope you had it much better…
