the reading list

so this is it;
a minimum of three fiction a month.
next would be;

1. Norwegian Wood Volume 2 (Murakami)
2. Steppenwolf (Herman Hesse)
3. Dead Souls (Nikolai Gogol)

no more. that seems universal enough. we don’t really need to read murakami, it’s just merely a matter of finishing him off (so as to tick him off the list). kundera can wait. (hei dah berkurun dah buku Immortality tu). things like Plath or Pessoa can wait until i really am in the mood to brood. (so it resonates or whatever). Fragments are best to be read, in fragments.

no more borrowing from the library, either.

and then just short articles, or lectures by people, i suppose. (i don’t have much time).

1. Self Reliance (Emerson)
2. whatever scrap of Shariati I haven’t read

Try to finish Man and Nature, Hussein Nasr. Can’t seem to engage me well enough, that book. (Is it boring? I don’t know.)

read and understand the tafsir (first by Qutb, but i think i shall venture out to see what Asad has to says, then Lings or Yusuf Ali)/

then we can proceed to, Ilmu Syaraf untuk Pemula, once i have gained more grasp/understanding (or vocabulary) of the language.

i need a good notebook to write it all down.

the green one is missing.

ambitious, eh?
