I received the last of my lit books yesterday! :-) It’s so fun receiving packages. Now I’ve got all the books except for my Camus D: RETURN IT TO ME FOR GOODNESS SAKE! I won’t get mad! D: 

The Waiting Years, cover

Finished The Waiting Years (Enchi Fumiko) and I really like it, but it has the translated-from-Japanese quality, there’s something missing in the english language that fails to capture ‘life’ I think. But anyway it’s an easy read, I finished it in 2 days :-o It tells the story of an upper class Japanese woman, wife of a political figure and the scandalous relationships between her husband and other women- but all told very simply and tastefully. I’m not going to spoil the plot for you, but I don’t think the story is about the plot, its just, like how the story is written/mode of narrative is beautiful.
