(urth) Good afternoon Urth

[Ab de Vos]

At the time I'm reading Porius  by John Cowper Powys and stories by 
Borges and Pierre Michon. Porius is a bit hard to get through. I find 
I'm more appreciative of short stories and essays as I get older. I'm 
reading Azimov's magazine and Interzone and some other magazines on and 
off.  I'm memorizing psalms for a number of years. Usually I read too 
many books at the same time.

I only write when I have to do a paper for an Open University course. 
Never felt much artistic stirring or academic ambition. Always thought 
the best is already written like the Bible or Homer.
