Enjoy a lot the babyrinth between the lines of words and the extent of imagination behind the upright scene of blackening wisdom...this is perhaps one of the motives for the 'pair' visits to the aisles of bookstores along the Charing Cross Road within 2 weeks' time. Apart from the three shortlisted books above, I collected some items in the second hand stores which had long been called for under my wish list.
- "touching from a distance", Deborah Curtis, 1995 edition
a long awaited reading...
- "the plague", Albert Camus, Hamish Hamilton 1948 edition
the work written at the peak era of Camus...
- "borrowed place borrowed time: Hong Kong and its many faces", Richard Hughes, 1976
a retro searching of the identity of Hong Kong...
- "the peloponnesian war", Thucydides
should it be called a classic?
- "modern nature", Derek Jarman, 1991 edition
it always reminds me the spacious nature at Dungeness...
- "a history of modern Russia", Robert Service, 2003 new edition
from the view of the Oxford professor.
- "dubliners", James Joyce
just because of the Ulysees.
- "the complete novels", Franz Kafka
full of reasons.
- "the iliad and the odyssey", Chapman's Homer
it is only that Chapman's is an English version.
...and the rest from the Amazons...
- "who's who in the Greek world", John Hazel, 2002 edition
- "rubicon", Tom Holland, 2005 edition
- "the arcades project", Walter Benjamin, 2002 Harvard University Press paperback edition
...to read in 2007.
