Haha it kinda did, then didn't. Anyway, I left a reply on the thread in response. Like you, I don't know if it makes sense. It's 3.30am here lmao and I'm listening to 'Gee' and I was just dancing around in my room while writing the reply.

Yep my mind is functioning again, or maybe not, I don't know. My mind has a mind on its own.I think.
Thank you for reminding me about the comment thingy, posted a new comment! Though I'm not too sure whether it makes sense though..

Lol I was reading fresh comments in 'The Space Between' thread and I ended up backtracking to read all of the previous comments. I came across yours and laughed. Did your mind start functioning again? o_o

I realise I'm flooding your wall lol. 'Fugacious' is a pretty sexy word, ain't it? Though, I must say I'm partial to 'quintessential' in the latest chapter. Nonetheless, I have this peculiar knack for expanding my vocabulary. It's like an obsession - whenever I see a word I don't know (or even don't know intimately to use it in the right context) I look it up. Yes, I strive to be mellifluous.

Continuing on, it's not that those books evoke wistfulness, rather a natural sense of attraction. When presented with something unconventional in this sense for the norm. of modern books, you either love it or hate that you cannot relate. I, for one, love it - when you read them, there's this element of escapism from the tumultuous 21st century.

Not to list a lot of books, but I love the fancy old-gothic literature ones. Jane Austen and Stephen King and just gah most of their work.
There's something lovely about books that are not set in the 21st century. It's probably attributed to the fact that it's so different from modern day with a distinct class system, doesn't have colloquial language and touches upon themes like perception.

Can I first just say that I love your signature? It's pure win. As for your review about the novels, 'Atonement' is my number one (I'm currently studying it in literature) and I really want to get my hands on Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein'. Not the crappy, play version, but the really old, gothic-literature one. I personally find the science in that book about frog legs fascinating.
