Pseudodecision
I've come to a decision. But, I'm letting it sit and settle in the soul for a few days. Consider it a preliminary decision, I guess. Anyway, it'll become official on Friday. April Fool's Day. How appropriate?
In the meantime, since life's been a bit to real lately, I chose last week to set aside Nostromo in favor of something cherished, nostalgic, and long-neglected: C.S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia. Re-reading them in the original order... not the f*cked-up "Narnian chronological" order they're sold in now. Nope, I started with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, as one should! Hell, if I ever have kids, they're reading Chronicles in the proper order, damn it!
Yes, I'm overly emotional on the subject. Sue me.
Anyway, I've worked my way through the first three, and now I'm working through The Silver Chair, which still remains my least favorite in terms of plot progression. But, I'm hanging on in anticipation of my absolute favorite... The Horse and His Boy!!!
Oh, can you imagine? Aravis and Shasta entering Tashbaan! King Lune! The Tisroc (may he live forever)! Holy f*cking sh*t! I can't believe I'm getting excited over this!
Whew.
