		<description><![CDATA[Translated by Ivan Morris Read: November 2008 Rating: Most delightful. I think I like Sei Shonagon herself more than I like her writing. She&#8217;s a fantastic character in and of herself&#8211;willful, witty, clever, eager to entertain, proud, and quick to judge. All of this comes across through her own recounts of her days, which are <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2008/12/the-pillow-book-of-sei-shonagon/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Take lots of notes, etc. This slowly falls away as things progress and I get comfortable. Unfortunately, this was the first book assigned to my memoir <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2008/06/the-confessions-of-st-augustine/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

The Female Quixote was written in mid 1700s, about a young woman who, like Don Quixote, lives in her fantasies. Arabella reads romances, all of which are set in <a href='http://www.thewordofgit.com/readingbackwards/2007/04/the-female-quixote/'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Daniel Defore Read: January/February 2007 Rating: Not Unpleasant I try to use only one word in the ratings, but there isn&#8217;t really an equivalent for &#8216;not unpleasant&#8217; without outright saying &#8216;pleasant&#8217;, which isn&#8217;t really the same thing.

Well, I got an A on it. But my punishment was having to read this garbage.

This is the Oxford University Press edition, with both a scholar and a poet working on the translation. The play itself is only, say, 1/3 of the book itself.

But now I&#8217;m in awe, sort of like the JK Rowling phenomenon. I really like it this time. And I&#8217;m amazed by the theory and complexity.
