The Pillow Book

Lovely, amazing, brilliant book from a court lady with spectacular wit and humor. I really need to reread this again some day. When I have a week to spare.
I've never had to work so hard to read a book before. It's been years since I've read it, but this book took me days and days to read, mainly because of all the footnotes. And you HAVE to read the footnotes. Every entry had a footnote, and I had to constantly flip back and forth to read it in order to understand the context.

I honestly have no idea where my copy went. My sister took it, and when she takes something, it will go into a black hole never to be found again.

I should read that one, too. Someday. Though it'll probably take me ages as well. ^^
A preacher ought to be good-looking. For, if we are properly to understand his worthy sentiments, we must keep our eyes on him when he speaks; should we look away, we may forget to listen. Accordingly an ugly preacher may well be the source of sin---But I really must stop writing this kind of thing. If I were still young enough, I might risk the consequence of putting down such impieties, but at my present stage of life, I should be less flippant.
Teehee.
Thanks for your review! I'll definitely read it sometime.
