new books!

yes i must really get down to blogging here, because this will be my literary pensieve! my placeholder for thoughts on texts that i'm reading this sem, and everything else. my bookshelf looks nice now with all those penguin books, and i'm at moll flanders now and she really is one scandalous person! i've already lost track of how many husbands/lovers she's had..anyway. so i'll be back here for a more detailed thought-jotting of poor moll flanders.

meanwhile i must also mention bill bryson for his delightful books, one of which kept me entertained in my last hospital stay. which i must say was a much better companion than the fashion magazine my parents got for me the previous time i was in hospital. i practically read the fine prints, the cost of each article of dress there, every page like three or four times. ah.

and then in the midst of all these, to read the Good Book more, and in greater detail and with a more acute mind and a more open heart too. this year i want to keep up with pastor's daily devotional on the pauline epistles, and besides that, the homework we get at ypg com meetings (which currently is the book of romans), and then i want to read pastor's old devotionals on the Gospels too, to know and love Jesus better.

"You have commanded us to keep Your precepts diligently.
Oh, that my ways were directed to keep Your statutes!"
(Psalm 119:4-5)
