tamaranth.. .I am giving up Procrastination.
Yeah, yeah.
Something I've been promising to do for a while is to post links to short stories online. There'll probably be a slant t'wards genre fiction, because so far I've found more SF / fantasy than anything else. But I'll try to include other fiction too. One a day, until Easter.
'The Lotus Eater', by Somerset Maugham
I (and thousands of other 'O' level students) read this at secondary school. It made such a strong impression on me that even a quarter of a century later, I find I still recall some sentences verbatim.
Rereading it now, though, I find that my interpretation's quite different, my sympathies tempered with a greater understanding.
