Reading material

After reading and loving a few Haruki Murakami books, and knowing that Murakami has translated works by F. Scott Fitzgerald into Japanese (amongst others) I've been meaning to check out FSG's work. I haven't read (or seen any adaptions) of The Great Gatsby but it may be next on my list. Instead, I am slowly getting through my collection of 'Pocket Penguins' and read the short story, "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz". Grand, loved it. I can see why Murakami may feel some sort kindred approach to story telling.

I'm not getting commisions for talking up Penguin ; though it may seem like it based on the last few posts! Great reads for my train trips to work and home, highly reccomend them as tasters for further reading.

Get real

The end of this week draws closer and with it so does the end of full-time employment... for now. As of Monday I will be freelancing, concentrating on mayk and generally trying to get paid for doing stuff besides sitting in front of a computer all day, trying to be creative between the hours of 8.30am and 5.30pm. Yeah.
I'll be seeing you...
