I smell the scent of a vanilla candle wafting through the apartment...what is this loveliness?? Where is it coming from???

My speaking skills are unquestionably deteriorating, but whatever I can't translate vocally, it ends up flowing particularly well on paper. This is quite the conundrum! I don't sound intelligent when I speak, but my writing tells a different story (and in volumes, too).

I've neglected this blog, mainly because it's been reserved for commentary on novels and books that I've read, and I've yet to continue reading quality material that doesn't include scientific literature...I apologize. I was in the process of continuing Welcome To The Monkey House (Vonnegut's dark humor never ceases to humor me), but even that progress faltered...but I shall continue (once I get these errands out of the way...)!

Also, adding "The Stranger" by Albert Camus to my list.

The good ol' k-pop days.

I really really really like Vonnegut's style of writing. I've jumped ship and abandoned Catch 22, and resurfaced with Welcome To the Monkey House, which is stylized as a series of short stories precluding Vonnegut's publications of his more pronounced works -- his novels.  

I'm reading Catch 22 right now, and I honestly expected the writing style to be more...elevated. Reminiscent of Vonnegut, perhaps, seeing as how both authors produce satirical novels. But I guess that was too much of an expectation on my part. Different authors, different approaches to penning. Oh well. I'm more or less enjoying the novel, though it's sort of a slow read (granted, I'm only on the second chapter). We'll see if I continue with this novel later!
