Jan. 31st, 2004 10:43 pmBleah. Today has been a wasted day.
I just finished reading Guy Gavriel Kay's The Lions of Al-Rassan. I was looking around for a couple of paperbacks to read a couple of weeks ago and remembered![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
qos's recommendation of this book and also picked up another Terry Pratchett Discworld novel. Kay's stories are usually stylized and so the characters are larger than life, but they have the feel of legend to them, and always manage to leave me moved and awestricken. I wish I could write like that.
But to write like that I'd first have to write anything at all. I have an idea brewing, that has been fermenting in my mind for a month or so, but which I really need to develop more.
Men at Arms quickly became one of my favorite Discworld novels.
I am mourning my lost copy of D.C.Lau's translation of the Tao Te Ching. I have a copy of Hua-Ching Ni's translation but I find it too flowery and assuming.
