Since being on here, I've managed to stumble upon some great blogs. I love this blogging world, not only does it provide me with an anonymous outlet, but it also lets me peer in on other worlds, other people and their experiences. It's a world in its own right, we are all members of the same electronic universe. Plus, there are some truly inspirational people out there, and great writers too, so it's also filling in a spiritual sense.
Lately I have been reading 'Madame Bovary' - it's the first time I have attempted the read, and I am finding it ok. It took a while to get into the head space of it - sometimes when I read books that are set in a vastly different time, with different language and expressions I find it hard to stay on task - my mind tends to wander, and I don't seem to be able to 'get into' the book. 'Madame Bovary' however has grown on me, and probably has much to do with the fact that I can identify a lot with her story. Like her, I have misconceptions and ill-fitted expectations that don't manifest in real life. Plus, her roller coaster of emotions and general contempt for her life are also things I can sympathise with. I also carry with me a weight of regret for ?love passed over. I am currently at the part where Leon has just left and she is only now realising what she's 'done' - I am very interested to see where it leads, but something tells me that dear Emma Bovary is not headed for a happy ending. Perhaps some of us are built that way... perhaps I am built that way? Time will tell I suppose.
Until next time - sending out the strangest of love...
