  1. I started reading the first book from The Once and Future King by T. H. White in the middle of February but life and work have stepped in and slowed my reading progress.[↩]

  1. Each morning that I openned ‘On Writing‘, I was hooked and more than a bit frustrated when I had to put it down. Consequently, when I finished ‘The Wench is Dead’, I decided take a pause from reading novels and immerse myself in this, instead. For my morning reading, I have replaced it with ‘Unsubscribe‘ by Jocelyn K. Glei which is perfectly structured in to short essays.[↩]
