The Historian

Sometimes while digging through a whole trove of books, one ocassionally finds something interesting, which, more often than not, is an attractive cover, a catchy line, and a whole series of reviews by Observer, The Sunday Telegraph, or The Times. All those (good) reviews printed on the back of the books make it harder to take a pick, a problem that I have overcome by simply choosing the thickest book (after narrowing down the choices, it was either this or Bram Stoker's Dracula, both piqued my interest)

Cutting the Red Ribbon

Well, maybe not literally, but after getting that banner up (and spending several unfruitful hours trying to change the layout), this blog will be permanent, and no, I did not try out Wordpress. Who knows though, maybe this will be my last post (due to my indolence), as it was on sheer impulse that I started to blog.

The Beginning

First post, hooray! (hopefully, with some determination, not the last)
