Things I did NOT see myself doing (just yet)

#377  Attempting to paraphrase a Ferdowsi - via Basil Bunting - story about the division of the world between Afaridun's sons to a 7-year-old on a train stuck somewhere outside London Bridge.

(Also, why I can write on my books... but he probably shouldn't.)

Books I've actually finished lately: 63

There seemed nothing to do but learn Persian and read Ferdowsi, so, I undertook that... It's an easy language if it's only for reading that you want it.
