Sometimes when I come across fiction and have read of a similar situation as a fact, I just think that let the fiction writers imagine, then they will show you the best and the worst possible of the world.
In 2009, we have heard of the sole survivor of a plane crash. I was reminded of this reading of Hatchet.
Reading a fictional story The Age of Analysis, I was reminded of Growing up Jung.
Apprehensions of a new sibling in Julius, the Baby of the world are not very different from that in "the wing Rocker and the Baby" in Discovery

How long is the spelling of your city?
Yesterday I was looking at a map and found a place called Truth or Consequences. Its long name kind of got me interested in it. Theres a story there. If you lie, you die?
Does anyone remember the town that changed its name to Google for a while.
But there are places with even longer names.

Sorry for the interruption
I find it funny imagining the 'desrt rose' song being played when a radio has technical issues.

Good example of a bad lecture
Not only is the content obvious but trying to state 'what not to do' to take up literature as vocation has been written in a very unreadable way.
The lecture has just been a way to vent out his frustration at having tor ead innumerable manuscripts. This lecture would have been an effective medium of communication had the lecturer just listed ten bullets of 'to do' or 'not to do' if thats what is convenient for him to write on like:
1. Have a style and one that is appropriate to the subject.
2. Stick to simplicity

Yesterday I read Andrew Lang's story from the Olive Fairy book.

Disappointed
When I read 'The Artist of the Floating World'.. I was so taken by his style .. that I next read 'The remains of the day'.. and felt so rewarded for trying out new authors. 'Never Let me go' is definitely a disappointment with so highly built expectations. But with his style of taking events along without much dialogues makes him an artist of another world..

Must read for art lovers
This is an excellent book. I am thoroughly enjoying it.
This book compares great painters 'Henri Matisse' and 'Pablo Picasso' works and the influence of each other and their works on the others art.
Henri Matisse with his keeping the painting simple and lively and Picasso with his cubism, drawing from imagination are 'artists of different worlds'. They have different painting styles and they paint at exactly opposite times.
The book goes through the works of each in the order one was done as a reacton to the other, sometimes one trying to beat the other at their own style.
CITES:
Baudelaire's essay- 'The Painter of Modern Life'.
Apollinaire's essay on Picasso's work.(also his 'La Poete assasine')
Picasso's play - 'Desire caught by the tail'.
Matisse - 'Notes of a Painter'.

Biological diversity
The authors job description is funny.
If teachers want students to ask questions, then this should be your workbook. Something or the other is sure to catch one's fancy and out will come the questions like 'If you were a creator, where would you place the second jaw?' 'Following owl monkeys do nocturnal men take more care of their babies?'
