read read read #8

shall be a short post
cos it friggin hot
and i'm tired
and i have work tmr.

i am well into my reading phase
borrowed like 10 books today
wanted to to borrow more
but i wouldn't have been able to carry them home
i borrowed Ernest Hemingway
bt i know from the past
as in writing classes in yr 10 called 'Express Yourself'
to read Hemingway
you kinda need to be quite alert
and read between the lines
not just whats there
i remember we read a few of his short stories in class
and there was one that was a conversation between this man and woman
and even though they never said anything related to it
and he as narrator never mentioned any of it
you were supposed to figure that the woman had just had an abortion
thus, through the tone and emotions of what the characters are saying
he hints things.
thus you ned an alert mind to read him.
but i was too tired
and hot so i couldn't be bothered
though i did start The Old Man and The Sea
but then opted for something lighter and easier to read

gah, its so hot
:(

sigh.
