this is really an ambitious book list
ReplyDeletehow long will you finish it
you are becoming a scholar right?
:)
Well, somehow I have forced myself to jam down all the listed ones above in the past two years. I really regretted that I had not read enough back in college, so now I just have to work harder on this.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes I’ve decided that I want to learn more, both text and theory. But you see I’m more of a novel type (still cant handle poetry like u do), so the word scholar might be just a bit too heavy to imagine just now
