it's the last day of the month.ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
it's amazing, but 4 precious months have already flown past and i still feel like i haven't done much at all.
on the literary front, i've embarked on another children's fantasy fiction trilogy - The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud.
as usual, i'm intrigued by the magic, spells, demons, and the wise-cracking djinni Bartimaeus...the first book of the trilogy is The Amulet of Samarkand. (i'm at page 149 now) and the other two are still in the drawer, unwrapped.
so if all goes well, i should be able to start on The Golem's Eye in a week and complete Ptolemy's Gate in june.*sigh*
in my hey-day (read: life as a literature student more than a decade ago), i could devour 1 book in 1-2 days, depending on how many hours i sleep.
fortunately, tomorrow's labour day, a public holiday and i can afford to wake up a little later than usual...
*yay*so tonight, after i'm done reading a couple of dr seuss bedtime stories to the girls, i'll be able to to the continue my own intriguing adventure with Bartimaeus.
i'm keeping my fingers crossed.
any other good books to recommend once i'm done?

I have to say that we have EXTREMELY different taste in books. Ha.
well, the inner-child in me is crying to be whisked away from the drudgery of life, and one of my escape pods happens to be shaped into a firm indulgence in imaginative, non-too-serious literary works. :)
