New year, new blog, special day!

Filed under: Languages, Literature, Uncategorized — learningtree @ 5:56 pm

This will be an extension & my new tool for learning. Initial list of all kinds of things I like:

  • French, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Cantonese, Korean etc. languages
  • Literature & thoughts springing from books
  • Sociology & anthropology or whatever you would call those lines of investigation..
  • Science, tech & cool gadgets
  • Geography, news, developments around the world
  • Random ramblings connected or unconnected to any of the above

I won’t be writing very personal stuff in this blog, I guess. Maybe will start a blog like that later. Haha, cool, now starting!

Reading right now: 

  • Das Schloss (Franz Kafka)
  • Selected Poems and Pictures of the Song Dynasty (China Intercontinental Press)
  • Shuo Guangdonghua (textbook on Cantonese by Yuanfang publishing co.)
  • Shou Huo (Chinese literary bimonthly formerly edited by the late Ba Jin)

Kafka das Schloss was a nice (or weird) surprise which he often is. I was expecting some long and tedious reading but in fact there is some crazy stuff in this book… Looked up some link to this book, this is what came up (not meant as an ad for Amazon, but they had some good commentaries on the page) www.amazon.com/gp/product/0805210393/103-7495648-1472665?v=glance&n=283155

As for who is (or was) Ba Jin, see here http://www.factmonster.com/ce6/people/A0930476.html
