Lord M

Lord M

I can’t read books. I have to live them. When real life smashes and the heart fails, I cross the boundary of the first word,which absorbs the identity I left misting into the commonplace, and instantly reassures it back to form.

    Dear Lord M,

    I feel for you! Physics and biology? ]_[
    How far from Les Mis can you get!! But, as it is, it'll probably serve you a lot better to get the grades you are looking for by reading this than other things... still, it can't be easy; there's not a lot of space left for the imagination in a biology textbook. I'll be thinking of you... Hang in there!

    I'm now in the 3rd book of the series of four Les Miserables, in the volume called Marius. I'm at the edge of my seat because Jean is in a very precarious position, meeting with the Tenardiers and all but I'm kind of reading A Constant Gardener at the same time (I know, I shouldn't be reading two books at once, the stories might get jumbled) and that too has me at the egde of my seat. I highly recommend it, so far the story is nothing short of awesome. I'd never read anything by John Le Carre but I think I'm liking his style of writing. Tessa is a very spirited heroine and Justin is a very unlikely one and I like him all the more for it. The story happens in Africa, and a lot of the injustices of what happends there with big corporations from the west making it big at the expences of the native people is brought up in this book. Don't know if you've seen the movie Blood Diamond but, though it's a very different storyline, it kind of brings some of the same issues forth. I'm about half way through, I'll keep you posted.

    Again, hang in there, hope your ordeal brings some consolations in the form of accomplishments you are wanting to work towards, at the very least!
    And as always, so good to hear from you and all the best of happiness:)
    ... or rather, all the happiness possible, concidering,

    Hey Lord M,

    Happy New Year!! I'm a little late in responding, the holidays required some traveling in order to celebrate with those we love. Christmas was not, by any means, warm. In fact, we had the loveliest frost I'd ever seen! All the trees were white with it and it looked like a wonderland. But our hearts were warm, so I guess that counts for something :)

    Ohhhhhhh! you need to put your hand (and, maybe more importantly, your eye) to Les Miserables again!! It's undiscribable and true and just very touching. The edition that I'm reading is a version in french from the 1950's in four volumes; I'm now in volume 2, the part with Cossette's story. I just don't have the words... what a story...

    Take care dear Lord M,
    All the best to you in this brand new 2010,
    e

    Oh... I'm done with book one (which I was lucky enough to find in french at my local library!) and am just absolutely facinated by how I get pulled into this story, I'm not reading it, I'm living it, I'm walking in Jean's steps, in Fantine's, in Cossette's, just one step behind them. Hugo is a genius, I can not explain it. I troudged through the chapters on Waterloo just wadding in bloody mud wondering what the point is and then get to the end and, wham! it hit me between the eye! I did not need all that information! I did not need to know how Napoleon felt, or how a simple disregard of weather lost him that war but it sure got my mind ready for what came before and what was coming next, how monumental events can happen in peoples lives, personal Waterloos that no one will ever know about and I'm still amazed...... I remembered thinking the same thing with Notre Dame de Paris and all it's descriptive chapters, though that book was apparently writen to make the Parisians more aware of priseless architectural masterpieces they were neglecting so I guess a little description was in order, he just sets the mood with those chapters and when I think, I can't take it anymore!! he brings it back to the story, as deaply and fully as if he'd never left it and make you feel the connection....... I'll have lots more to say, no doubt, as I progress in the next books.

    Hope all is well with you.
    We are getting in that special time of year here, Christmas spirit is in the air and everyone is exited about get-togethers with family; wishing you the best this special time :)

    hi lord m,

    I like how you rightly pointed out that all is not in the hands of one may he be president, king, ruler or dictator - but also in the hands of the people who will show responcibility: Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country. JFK had something there :)

    I finished A Tale of Two Cities and it's become my favorite Dickens novel. Lucie Manette was so perfect, she made me feel inadequate... Although, I have to say, they don't make them like Sidney Carton anymore.

    I'm reading the first part of Les Miserables and I'm completely taken in this story. I'll have more to say as the story progresses but I can now say one thing about it: Jean Valjean.

    Hope all is well.
