silversea: Asian woman reading (Reading)
It's been a while since I last posted, mainly because of depression, not having anything to say, etc. Trying to get back in the habit, but I think it'll be infrequent posts anyway.

Recently read Lady Susan by Jane Austen and then watched Love & Friendship (confusingly named after a different Austen work) directed by Whit Stillman.

Review )
silversea: A dragon reading a book (Reading Dragon)
Never was a big fan of classic literature (this may or may not have something to do with my parents giving me children's abridged versions of classic literature as a kid...), but in the last few years I started venturing out of my usual speculative fiction/weeb tastes. Started with Dracula and Frankenstein and the likes, was pleasantly surprised by how readable they were. In retrospect, of course they are very readable, that's why they endured so many years!

Finding Standard Ebooks exposed me to a whole new world though. Highly recommend for any book that's out of copyright.
