Recent Reading

Hello everyone.

It’s been a while since I wrote a blog as I have been so busy with my new job and other issues. These days I do not have much time for reading which is rather sad. I was hoping that in this part of my life I would be able to read a lot more. Having said that, I suspect I am just making excuses!

The reason I say this is that I am spendingËa huge amount of time playing Igo on-line and watching youtube videos about Igo. So, if I stopped doing that then I would have plenty of time to read some good books wouldn’t I? As a result of this time spent enjoying Igo I am , in fact, reading only one kind of book. That is a collection of Life and death problems which are necessary to practice everyday if you want to be good at this elusive game!

I do also read a little about violin playing every now and again because the number of students wanting violin lessons has increased quite a bit in the least few months. I am am not sure why, since I am a very strict violin teacher. Strange considering I am not strict at all when I teach English! I also read one page of a book by Tolstoy every morning when I wake up after doing yoga. This is a short page of Tolstoy thinking about a particular topic and using quotes from all kinds of famous literature. I think it is called something like Tolstoy’s 365 day calendar.

Sorry for the strange blog.

See you soon,

Buri
