I can’t believe this is our last post, I literally remember writing my first blog post on proust, on my way to Vancouver, this has been an interesting journey for sure.

The End

Week 13, the semester is coming to an end, and it’s time to reflect. I think my biggest takeaway from this course is I was definitely wrong about books. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always respected the medium of literature, and known its importance, but nevertheless I just never cared for a novel, or rather …

Last Postttttttt (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)

I still can’t believe the semester is already coming to an end, and this is my final blog post! 、 Honestly, at the beginning of the semester, I was quite worried. First of all, the setup was quite different from the usual classes – the contract grading. It was entirely about self-discipline, which was a […]

last post of rmst 202:(

I can’t believe its my last post! I have throughly enjoyed this little community we’ve all created and reading everyone’s blogs. This course was so unique and probably one of my favourite courses I’ve taken! I’ve never done grade contracting before and was a bit hesitant when I contracted to read 11 books. But now […]

Week 8: If on a winter’s night a traveler

Italo Calvino, author of ‘If on a winter’s night a traveler’, is probably the most unique book I have encountered till date. Although not a terribly hard read, the book entails a unique style of dual narration. The book begins with a rather direct, second-person narration of what the reader is doing and feeling while …
