Still reading War and Peace, but all of a sudden I've had another attack.
All of a sudden come up so many questions. Why read? Why write? Why have this blog at all? What have I been doing all of my life and what am I going to do? Why live? What's the point?
So these days I haven't written much. In awe and then in despair I don't know what to write about a book of such size and scope- what a masterpiece!, and after jotting down a few sentences, a few trivial, superficial remarks, I can write no more.
Everything seems pointless.
I don't even know why I keep this blog.
I do know how you feel. In the face of something such as War and Peace, one can't help but ask oneself: "What can i write that could convey anything at all of what this book makes me feel?" But one has to write something: you can't keep it all locked up in yourself. I have been enjoying reading your thoughts on this.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. And thanks for that.
