I should read more fiction as I had dumb reasons in youth (and thereafter) for reading mostly non-fiction. Chiefly that fiction was a guilty pleasure, when there was so much "real" to be studied.

I wish Plath had lived. Imagine what she might have written, if so. Am sick of rereading my old standbys, so back to just non-fiction also. <br><br>Taking all my blurry photos has helped me appreciate really good photography. Now, as when a kid, I am happy as a pig in clover with a copy of National Geographic. There was an image in one recently of a praying mantis that had just caught and begun to eat a hummingbird ten times its size. Horrific, but so real and quite eerily beautiful. Truth stranger than fiction.Retrieverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09036341287285545932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425732352511468694.post-56396123741344347032009-12-01T04:05:40.196-08:002009-12-01T04:05:40.196-08:00I have to agree with you on poetry--I can't fi...I have to agree with you on poetry--I can't find any more recent than the 60's that excites me.Novalishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10501890494890617030noreply@blogger.com
