I am feeling better!!!!

I’ve been plodding through an abridged version The Arabian Nights for about 6-8 months and got to a point where I think the actual stories, the themes and plots compound in complexity as you read through all the nights (how’s that for Islamic aesthetics, jeez Louise).

I already miss the earlier nights, so I got part 1 of 3 of a “complete” translation. Part 1 seems to be just as big as my “complete” abridged version. If I can read all these AND all of Billy Shakespeare, man. That’ll be a life well-read.

(I can already imagine all the more strange and obscure classics to read after. Ha ha ha…)
