Welcome to yoonamania where I put down the nonsense that pops up in my head from time to time. Please do not expect to make any sense out of my blatherings. It's called nonsense for a reason. Nor should you expect to enjoy any good writing. My English sucks moose ass. But I don't really care since I'm sure your Korean isn't any better. Please try to keep your expectations low and just chill like potatoes... or beets... or parsnips. Oh and yeah, don't take it seriously unless you think I think you must.

Yours truly, etc. yoonamaniac

    I have the Solzhenitsyn book. I read it maybe 15 years ago and recently I took it off my shelves to reread it but for some reason I put it back again. I don’t know why. I enjoyed it the first time and should read it again.

    Welcome to TT!

  7. Wow! I wish I could read that many books right now. I have a whole list to read during winter break. I’ve never read any of the ones on your list, though.

    VAZ, I have at least an hour to read everyday when I hold Brandy after her meal. Since my wireless doesn’t work and I have to divide my time in 3 different rooms, I sometime have another hour or so to read if I don’t take a very short nap. :D

    The latest 5 or 6 books are really short. :LOL:
