Sigh, goodbye Bongchun-Dong.
We moved out of our apartment above mid-October into a cheap place we bought in Ansan, south of Seoul. We needed somewhere cheaper and buying a place seem a much better move than renting again. I hate renting: you slave away at work for a landlord you&#8217;ve never met. It&#8217;s just throwing cash [...]

Saturday is the second McEwan novel I&#8217;ve read and for me it suffered from the same thing the first did: the drilling down into minuscule detail of mental processes, beyond which for me is realistic. Perhaps I lead a dull inner life. But that would surprise me to learn.
It was also the tangential excursions, not [...]

This book is an undeniable classic. Written with authority and control, with a kind of restrained disgust, it has so many well phrased passages.

Candide 
Voltaire
This was a fun read and, as I find with a lot of earlier literature, quite modern in its execution. Or, did the translation make it seem that way? Partly, perhaps.

Lucky Jim (Penguin Classics)
Kingsley Amis
I&#8217;d heard this was a classic of &#8220;academic life&#8221; literature that had an influence on later writers of that genre. But there is quite a dated feel about this. Many passages, especially dialogue, play out like a 1950s movie, with snappy but unnatural conversations and retorts. The humor was not as [...]
