New Books!

Yesterday, I went to MPH and bought some new books! Finally! I bought the completed works of Oscar Wilde (gotta love him, he is so eccentric and his words are so poetic n inspiring to me!), Audrey Niffenegger's new book. She's the same writer who wrote Time Traveler's Wife, so, looking forward to that! And *drumroll......I finally found the sequel to the Last Vampire by Christopher Pike. That was such a THRILL! I mean, I read the Last Vampire 2,3 and 4 when I was in form 1, i think. I couldn't find Last Vampire 1, 5 and 6 because the book was so old, it was published 1996. More than 10 years. That's why I feel like I could walk on air..................

I finished the Last Vampire 5 in class just now. (The class was way boring for words. I just opened my book and glanced at the slides now and then, *to show that I was paying attention.* By the end of the class, I had only a few pages left.) Wheee...now I'm starting on the last book. Awww..

I'll update in a few hours. That book is calling out to me. (Read me, read me!!) :P

Helas by Oscar Wilde

Thought I might share this poem. I love it.


To drift with every passion till my soul,
Is a stringed lute on which all winds can play,
Is it for this that I have given away
Mine ancient wisdom, and austere control?-
Methinks my life is a twice-written scroll
Scrawled over on some boyish holiday
With idle songs for pipe and virelay
Which do but mar the secret of the whole.
Surely there was a time I might have trod
The sunlit heights, and from life's dissonance
Struck one clear chord to reach the ears of God;
Is that time dead? lo! with a little rod
I did but touch the honey of romance-
And must I lose a soul's inheritance?
