1. Der Abentheurliche Simplicissimus Teutsch-Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen
2. The Anatomy of Melancholy- Robert Burton





I need to spend more time writing. The present conflict is whether electronic writing is the correct medium. On the one hand there is ease of use, ability to correct or erase what I now feel foolish of saying in the first place. Of course there is also the vainglory of even comtemplating that Someone Else is reading what I have to say.

I came across an interesting blog today which I must admit brought back the guilty feelings of abandoning this blog once I received a job offer last year. I must also admit that I feel some jealousy in finding that someone else finds Grimmelshausen's work as a source of inspiration (perhaps?) and entertainment (no doubt).

Gentle readers (ha!) I have found the password to this blog finally..and unless I determine to use good to honest pen and paper to chronicle my thoughts, I will update this more frequently.

For now, I leave this
