About 9 hours to go till Three Novellas comes to the door

That is when i shall permit myself the synthetic embrace that ushers blissful slumber.

So in order to make the time go by more quickly, what i find helpful is to utilize a variety of ways to be occupied, and posting is a part of it all.

I was thinking of my beautiful Cuban born Diarist, and want to read all her diary in chronological order, the last installment of the Unexpurgated series is due for October this year. Dost thou know what sort of a big deal this is? Ever since 1966 her Diary has been a part of public knowledge, and in 2022 it all comes to a glorious conclusion, but for me and hopefully countless other admirers of Anais Nin the riches of her works will continually be like they were just penned, that is what great literature is like, it is a living record via the reader.

I also want to cover those beautiful Library of America sets for Vonnegut and PKD, starting all over again and then finishing them all. With Vonnegut there's also the mammoth short story volume, and for PKD there's the Exegesis on kindle.

It should be obvious what the edification field is for me - Nietzsche and Cioran primarily, and since the lamp is now situated for reading physical books there's no reason why i can't include my favorite Christian thinker - Soren Kierkegaard. And it's highly beneficial i find to intersperse these readings with intelligent spoken word content found on such places like YouTube.

For other fiction, i somewhat dubiously divide it all, on the right is fine literature, which is the classics and that which could be described as intellectual, which is where i categorize Thomas Bernhard, and the populist literature which can be fine but is more indicative of it being entertaining, this is where i put all those thrillers and horrors i sometimes fancy.

An exhaustive list should be provided, but i shall delay that so it will coincide with an increase in personal development. I am still very much like a adolescent.

Hmmmm, next SW related step in keeping awake would be sharing music, but i'll try to read instead for as long as possible. Happy Sunday .......:)
