Weekly Report
I almost DNF Confessions of a Mask, but the second half improved enough to press onwards. Meanwhile I started the different books as my subway book: Bluebeard's First Wife, Winter in the Blood, and The Bitter Glass. Still reading 2666.

Read and really enjoyed this Japanese modern classic years ago. This 1958 edition is a little worse for wear (I think it may have belonged to my husband‘s grandfather), but I love it anyhow. The mask is rather haunting.

A snow-covered landscape that often becomes the tragic setting for riot or revolution ~ Mishima
My first Mishima - I was doubled over with pity, overcome with a nearly unbearable fervor for his diction, feeling an intense connection with his anguish, and losing my mind at how he had the character ridicule himself. Hilarious and heartbreaking.
@Anna40 thanks for the tag!

#augustphotochallenge #day14 A #uniquefact about me is that I lived in Japan for three years, working as an English teacher. I had a few regular schools and spent every Friday traveling to different schools and doing "one-shot" lessons. I had one school with only two students. To get to another school, I had to take a train, a bus, and a boat. It was soooo much fun and the commutes were great for reading. Best job ever.
