Although this website hasn't had an update since December of last year, just over two months ago to be exact, doesn't mean that it isn't still in my mind and in my heart.
I am currently working on a biography of Anthony Burgess for the "People" section of the site, as well as a review of his non-fiction book A Mouthful of Air: Language, Languages... Especially English (1992).
I have read three books since my last site update: Stephen King's Under The Dome, Bret Easton Ellis' The Rules of Attraction, and Haruki Murakami's The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. Expect reviews.
Although I had just written that I am working on a review of A Mouthful of Air, I am actually currently reading it. The review will be a longer analysis of the book, as I am taking notes as I go along. I am also reading Stephen Kinzer's All the Shah's Men. Since my historical knowledge of Iranian and American relations is not up to par, please don't expect a review of this book until I have read another so I can do a comparative analysis.
Also, I have removed the "Film," "Photography," "Courses" and "Calendar" sections from the menu. The former two because I felt that I was setting myself up for too much too soon and would rather have them indefinitely removed rather than sit empty and dormant for too long. The latter two because I have not been keeping typed course notes and because I have an off-site calendar; I don't expect the latter two to come back at all.
If anyone at all has found my site, I welcome you to come back soon because I have quite a bit of content either in the works or planned at this time.
Signed,
Sparky
