However vast any person's basic reading may be, there still remain an enormous number of
fundamental works that he has not read.

Why Read the classics?

Italo Calvino, 1981
Ma nuit chez Maud (My Night at Maud's) (1969)
Directed by: Éric Rohmer (Six Moral Tales)
G.K. Chesterton once joked, “I am not absent-minded. It is the presence of mind that makes me unaware of everything else.”
recently picked up this contemporary lit fic, by an author I have never heard of before. once in a while people like sibhat come into the game defying the social norms and giving critical observations of what the society have hidden with stunning prose and mind you that sibhat was hated on back in the days to the point his books where taken out of the market, I honestly want to believe this dude wants to do that but lacks the critical part and only talks about his erotism makes me wonder if his an exhibitionist of sorts but yeah, this is a drop for me and I don't often take the time to hate on books but yeah this ain't it FAM this ain't it, maybe I'm wrong but if any of you finished it let me know.
