The First Yarn

I love reading and writing, and this blog is to share my passion of both. As a hostelite currently, I rely on library subscriptions to feed my appetite for books, so let's see what i end up coming across.
My stories all grow, with time, and I try to put my experience into some use here. I hope someday i may get close to the greats I admire. I await the
I am currently reading Michel Foucault's Madness and Civilisation and Dr Devdutt Pattanaik's Myth=Mithya, both very interesting books. Though I am still at the beginning, I hope to gain some insights on the combined knowledge of both. Foucault tests, not only the reader's assumed prior knowledge, but I feel, also their attention spans. I'm not surprised people find the prospect of reading such texts putting off, though it would be a good exercise for me. The last philosopher I read was Thoreau in Walden, and he was infinitely easier on the reader's mind.
I will come back with more interesting stuff soon, so keep waiting.
